Headlight Module Repair Part 1(Illustrated)

[DartGTS340]

Since I see people everywhere I go with their lights stuck up, and I've noticed the question come up here many times, I thought I might contribute a little to help those in need.
What's to follow deals with the module on 87-88 Daytonas and, I believe, Le Barons (not sure what years).

Located in the center of your dash under the top cover peice you will see the module below.




The next two pictures show what is inside that plastic housing. It is encased in a rubbery compound that can be removed with some effort.




Now lets take a closer look at the board itself.




Note the solder points that I have circled in the first of the previous two shots. Those are where the posts from the relays come through the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). In the other photo you will see these as the two white plastic housed components.

The reason I have singled out these components, is because that up to this point, in every module that I have ever fixed, it was these solder points that were the only problems. I have many of these under my belt. You, of course, can resolder every pin on the board just to be sure, but as this progresses you'll understand the reason I normally don't.

[See:Headlight Module Repair Part 2(Illustrated) I had to split it due to too many images.]

Thanks for the info. I've replaced several modules in different cars that I've owned over the years. Now I'll fix them.

very helpful thank you

Nice! This might actually be the fix I have been looking for, my headlights dont want to cooporate with me sometimes, and I have to leave them up.

[TurboPacifica]

can you tell the one with the time delay vs. no time delay
part numbers I mean.

[currobar]

are you sure that welding the points in the module, the problem is fixed?

above from the part books no module listed in the 87 part book

Lebaron owners might want to remove that rubber compound before the sun melts it and it gets all over your dash wiring. It is a pain to remove the sticky compound after it has melted and gone all over!

It took many hours to get it out of my 88 LeBaron Convertible!

Not totaly off subject. I bought a vnt last year in vegas brought it to ontario split the smec to see how dirty it was but it was pretty clean but the silicone was heavily cracked due to californias weather i geuse. Would this be a problem in a more inclamate weather? Will never be winter driven!
