Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery, follow the primary wiring harness from the ignition coil up to the electrical connector, then unplug the connector. If you can’t find the electrical connector, detach the wiring right at the coil by removing the nuts from the terminals. Then using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance across the primary terminals. If the resistance is not as specified, replace the coil.

I am having trouble with my headlights. For some reason I have lost the day time running lights and the low beam headlights. Have checked all fuses and bulbs. The head light relay is working and can’t find the problem.
