No High Beam Headlights
When I click my "brights on" my headlights turn off. I replaced my dimmer switch, but that did not fix it. I had just replaced my alternator, but the problem existed just prior to the replacement too.
What could it be? Thanks

2 suggestions:
Clean connectors on both harness and headlight bulbs and/or fiddle with them. Replace your headlights. Admittedly having the same sympton on both sides at the same time seems rather odd but it's worth a shot.

Don't take this wrong, but it is possible that both hi-beams of your headlamps are burned out. I have seen it before here at work. Check the power at the headlamp bulb connector and see if it has voltage when on high.

Thanks for the suggestions. All worked well until my alternator went out. Maybe it did blow the high beam elements. I will check it out.

Pull the plug on the dimmer switch and look in the harness plug for dirt corrosion or melted wires.
That's all I have to add to whats already been said. |
