Head Light Malfunction(High Beam)

[brk1983]

Headlight will not work on High Beam. Headlight will work on Low Beam. I have replaced the bulb and checked the fuses. Left side works on low and high beam. The right side will only work on low beam. I am not sure what is causing this problem. Is there a relay that may causing this problem.

simple test:

pull the headlight.

Probe the 3 wires for the headlight connector on the side that works to figure out:

1 wire = ground1 wire = lo beam1 wire = hi beam

Now, do the same for the bad side.

if you get power to the hi beam wire on the bad side, then the problem lies w/in your headlight (you can also swap headlights to test this).

If not, you will need to continue tracing backward.

The headlight relay box is on the driver side below the intake inlet (not sure if this is high beam, but there are lots of relays for headlight control there).

You may want to d/l or buy an FSM (search you can d/l for free). There are testing procedures in there.

Also check the switch. In my advanced electronics another student blew my high beam on the right side somehow with a voltometer. It took me a week to the problem was the switch.

^ Yeah, It is most likely the headlight switch. I had the same problem on my car when I bought it. The contacts are probably old/worn out. $30 for a new switch.
