Well I had an issue with my headlights, the high beams were on automatically constantly! So I took the headlight out and found that some of the wires were bare, the plastic conduit that covers the wire was brittle and fell off, and some of the bare wires were touching causing it to ground.*

I cut the old wires and soldered new wires in, put the headlights back in the car and went to start it, the car starts but dies in 2 seconds.*

Pls help!
