Re: Attention 1934 Packard Owners - Headlight problem driving me batty

OK, after really thinking more and more about this, I decided to actually check the taillight bulbs. Now, keep in mind everything was working just fine, then they didnt! Well, I did have tail light bulbs in stock and decided to replace because they were blown! Installed two new ones and now I have functioning taillights! Yippee! I now must assume the headlight tri-bulbs are blown, except for that one that lights on position 4!

So now, this post changes to how the heck did that happen! All four bulbs blow at once?

Thanks gents, this was an issue that had to be solved before the night was over. I even slipped away for while during family day today.

Great Info and you are right about the single light mode.

As for the breaker, it never reset. How do I reset and where is it? Also, I still confused as why some of the headlight positions still work.

Thanks for your help!

Attention 1934 Packard Owners - Headlight problem driving me batty

Hi all,

Let me preface this post by saying my 1934 1104 has never been apart or restored and the headlights (and everything else) have worked fine for the past 50 years. Now they don't. The only thing that changed was a comfy ride in an enclosed trailer for 1000 miles and a new owner.

When I got home with the car, I showed the family the car and how everything worked. I was showing how even the running board and rear seat lights worked when either rear door was open.

There are 4 positions on the headlight switch. Off, parking, two driving modes, and the last being single light mode. All of this was fine when I got it home. After I left the lights on for about 10 minutes, they didn't work anymore, but only the two driving lights mode. The parking and single light mode still work. It all cases, the taillights no longer work, but the brake lights do.

Seemed simple to me, a fuse must of blown. So, checking only two fuses I can see, they are fine. I know the switch is fine in those positions because the rear courtesy lights work when the rear doors are open ONLY if the headlight switch is in one of the 3 on positions. I am thinking there must a another fuse somewhere, but I cannot find it. Because I dont have manuals at this time, I am posting this, as I KNOW this must be simple!

Thank for reading and I hope it made sense.
