Problems With my 82 Supra....Help?

[bigddyjoe]

so i have just bought this pretty sweet 82 supra. its a pretty clean working car ive just been running into some problems with it. i fixed majority of the things but still have some left. for example...the headlights, they for some reason arent getting power to the motors to go up and down. also the foglights are the same way plus i have no idea where the switch is for those. and some other small thing like powere to the radio coming and going. other than that its a sound car and looks great. any help on these issues would be much appreciated. oh and a link to a parts supplier would be nice to.

I love the Supra from 82-86. The look is awesome. I had one and it lasts for 200XXX miles. Supra is nortorius for headlight switches problem. Now I have 89 Supra turbo with targa top and it is not for sale.My suggestion is to change the whole unit. The unit is at the steering column. There is another way, put a separate up/down switch on the dash. Run your up/down wiires from the steering column to the up/down switch. This was Mazda design for there RX7 in the 80's. The up/down separate switch is easy to troubleshoot. You can also use this for cold/freezing weather. Leave the headlights up during this weather, this would prevent burn or damage gear to your motor. Keep us updated and good luck.
