I had this exact problem, it drove me crazy trying to find out the problem. My idle is at 850 - 900, I cleaned all my grounds, tried everything but it kept burning up just the one headlight after about 10 minutes of use. I ended up replacing the entire headlight bucket and bulb with a new...

I feel your pain, electrical problems are a nightmare for me, since I have little knowledge of all that at the moment. Replacing the entire headlight bucket finally worked for me, hope it will solve your problems as well!

OK, after a lot of trial and error and cleaning grounds all over the truck, it turned out to be a faulty connection in the headlight bucket. Looks like vibration had caused the connector to wear through on the inside of the assembly. In the end I replaced the whole thing and it works like...

I am interested in this stuff as well. I was thinking about coating the interior of the engine compartment and cab floor with it. I have never used it and would love some first hand knowledge.

I would be interested in a set, if the price is right as well.

Do you think it would be a ground right at the headlight since it is the only one effected by this?

Ok, so I have installed a brand new dimmer switch and another headlight with the same results the passenger side headlight fogs up the glass with a blue haze and then burns out in about 4 or 5 minutes. The drivers side headlight has been fine this whole time. I am running out of ideas to try...

THe slide on the turn signal is for the hazards or four way flashers. Pull it out and push the turn signal all the way up to turn them on.

Continuing to think on this...This past time the headlamp burned out it was after I tested the hi/lo dimmer floor switch. Could it be a faulty dimmer switch that is making this happen? To only one headight?

I had never thought about that, it is something I will look into. While we are on the subject would LED headlights be effected as badly? They are expensive, so I would hate to blow out one of those if it does turn out to be an electical problem. Would the LEDs be as sensitive to these problems?

I had never thought of that. Just to clarify, you think I may be overtightening the three screws the hold the headlight in the housing? Would this be pushing the back of the headlight into the housing making the bulb crack?

The flashers and all hazards are now working great (they are all LEDs). It is only the passenger side headlight that keeps burning out quickly. They are 24 volt headlights for a duece. Both headlights will burn as you would expect for a few minutes then the passenger side light burns up and...

Just wanted to follow up on this. We finally traced it down to a bad brand new 3 lever switch. I guess it is rare, but it was bad right out of the box. Another switch and all lights work. Now the passanger side headlight keeps blowing. I mean with in five minutes of installing a new one. Have...

It may be a bad flasher relay. I ordered my parts thru C&C Equipment and they told me the relay should work fine with the LEDs, but it could be a bad unit altogether. The whole electrical system was in pretty poor shape. It would not explain the headlights tho, which are regualr bulbs. I...

I bought a 1972 M109a3 at a local auction about 6 months ago. When I bought it the wiring and lights did not work and were in terrible shape. I have been using it on the farm for the past months, but want to get it road worthy. So, I bought and installed new front and rear wiring harnesses...
