There is a problem with the headlights. The low beam suddenly stopped working, it only switches on when the left turn signal is turned on. The high beams work, but cut out when the left turn signal is on. What could it be? I was told it could be the headlamp switch and rushed ahead and bought a used turn/wiper (combined) replacement part. Would replacing it fix this problem or is it an issue with wiring. Thanks Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 2, 2009, 1:21 AM Post #2 of 6 (1171 views) Re: 1996 Mazda MX-6 Headlamp turn signals issue Sign In Sounds like a bad combination switch. All those functions are all incorporated into that one switch. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. horlicks_1989 New User Sep 2, 2009, 1:22 AM Post #3 of 6 (1168 views) Re: 1996 Mazda MX-6 Headlamp turn signals issue Sign In So the complete replacement should work?

We physically test the wiring but the odds are good with yours. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. horlicks_1989 New User Sep 2, 2009, 1:38 AM Post #5 of 6 (1161 views) Re: 1996 Mazda MX-6 Headlamp turn signals issue Sign In The mechanic tested the contacts and suggested the headlamp switch. I'll see if it works. Thanks for your feeback!

There can be many different ones depending on the car's options. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
