Brights don't work?

Quick question, my brights stopped working, dims still work, I replaced the dimmer switch thinking that was it but didn't help. Is it the headlight switch?

Check the connector that plugs into the dimmer switch for corrosion/loose wires. Even jump the terminals to see if it will work.

I had my brights stop working, and it was a poor connection there.

Same thing happened to me. Years of mud and salty slush eat away at those connections.

Mine was like that when I replaced the dimmer switch. The connector terminals weren't as tight as they should of been. So I bent on them a little bit to make them tighter. Kinda like when a household electrical plug gets bent and you have to bend them a little to make them fit.
