Headlights only working on ignition. Is this normal?

Post

I've had the dash apart for some time now trying to figure out this problem. The headlights only work when the key is on ignition and don't work on battery power. I'm sure this is how they are supposed to work or am I mistaken?

The rear lights and dash lights come on ok but not the headlights. The brights work fine when pulling at the stalk.  I've taken apart the light switch and all seems to be working fine.

Anyone have any advice?

Thanks in advance :thumbs:

Ok guys nevermind, I found that the park lights had not been reconnected after I put the car back together :$—————
Thing was, I had only noticed this after I had been messing around with the instument cluster, so I thought I had messed something up in the dash somehow.  Shows how it is always best to check the basics when diagnosing a problem :lol:
