I got a 96 metro with headlight problems. DRL's come on but when i turn the headlights on..... NOTHING! The park lights come on but no headlights. If you pull the high beam lever towards you the high beams come on but when you flip them forward then nothing!! Ive changed out the relays and all fuses but still no worky?! Any ideas?

Make sure that you get a tab terminal that has the shape to click in to the plug.
My first one didn't, the wire slipped most of the way off, and burnt.
The second one I did, I used a better connector, and I think the metal was thicker, made for thicker wire, etc.
So I doubled the wire over, soldered it inside the terminal under the crimp, heat shrinked over it, and then had to FORCE the terminal inside the plug with a pair of pliers. At least I know now it won't come out on accident again...

Probably the most common problem Metros have.
