- Which of the following would probably not cause the headlights on both sides of the vehicle not to work? An open in the power or ground circuit A bad (control) switch A blown fuse Low generator outputarrow_forwardThe turn signals operate in the left direction only; Technician A says that the flasher unit is bad. Technician B says that the fuse is probably blown. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that a sealed-beam headlight that is cracked should be replaced. Technician B says that cracking or breaking of the composite housing or lens does not prevent a halogen bulb from working. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- True or False? The headlights on many adaptive head light systems can swivel up to 5 degrees in the direction the vehicle is turning.arrow_forwardWhile troubleshooting a headlight problem: Technician A says that when one headlamp does not work, the problem may be a burned-out bulb or lamp. Technician B says that you should check for voltage at the bulb before replacing a bulb. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardThe right back-up lamp is dim: Technician A says that the back-up lamp switch may have high resistance. Technician B says that the back-up lamp fuse may have corroded terminals. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- Technician A says that flickering vehicle lights can be caused by a circuit breaker that is kicking in and out due to a short. Technician B says that flickering vehicle lights can be caused by a loose electrical connection. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that reverse lamp switches are activated at the transmission/transaxle by the gearshift lever. Technician B says that reverse lamp switches are activated by a sensor at the input shaft. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardThe front passenger power window motor goes down but not back up. Technician A says a faulty power window relay is the cause. Technician B says the passenger window switch may be the cause. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- True or False? HID lamps produce more heat and white light than a halogen bulb.arrow_forwardWhile diagnosing an HID lamp that does not turn on: Technician A says a smoky or blackened lamp may indicate the bulb is burned out. Technician B says before replacing a suspected bad ballast, check to make sure it is getting power and ground. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a true statement about lamp-out warning lights? The lamp-out warning module measures small changes in voltage levels. An electronic switch in the module completes a ground path for the indicator lights in the event of a bulb going out. A special resistance wire is used in multibulb systems. When a bulb burns out. the module senses the increased voltage drop and turns on the indicator lamp.arrow_forward
