with the negative pole (negative earth car I presume) of the

engine-chassis is gone. In my mind it must be a wiring problem.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Hello, Healeyphiles -</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>This is an MG Midget, but the wiring
is similar to a Healey. I cannot figure this one out. The
situation:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>1. I am reassembling the car after a
total repaint.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>2. During disassembly, the molded
plastic connectors in each of the headlamp harnesses
crumbled, so I replace both harnesses with new ones from
Moss.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>3. Because the headlamps were
mis-matched and one had no high beams, I replaced both
headlamps with new ones. (NOTE: the left lamp high beam did
not work in the car with the old harness, but I just checked
the bulb directly to the battery and both beams worked).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>4. I drove the car to a location
where I could adjust the headlamp aiming according to
instructions at danielsternlighting.com. Both lights worked
on both high and low beams.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>5. When I finished the aiming
procedure, I turned off the headlamp switch before starting
the car to drive home. That's the last I have seen of
either the high or low beams. Fortunately, it was not too
dark to see and less than a half-mile to home down a
neighborhood street.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>6. I have checked the headlamp
wiring end-to-end per the BMC wiring diagram. With the
headlamp switch on, I have 13 volts at all locations
checked: headlamp switch blue wire to turn signal switch
(power input), turn signal switch blue/white wire (high beam
circuit), turn signal switch blue/red wire (low beam
circuit), 13 volts to both circuits at the headlight
connector of the new harness (since neither light is
working, I am only troubleshooting the right one so far). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>7. Continuity of ground at the
headlight connector. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>8. The light (both high and low
beams) burns brightly if I connect its terminals directly to
the battery. I also plugged in both the old bulbs, for what
that's worth, and neither of them worked. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>So, the new headlamp is good, I have
13 volts at both high and low beam terminals of the new
harness and continuity of ground. I can also measure 13
volts on the lamp terminals with it plugged into the
harness. What is the problem?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Thanks for any suggestions!</span></p>
