Problem: If I turn on the low beams both lights come on. If I turn on the High beams no lights.

Things I tried: 1. Replaced both headlights with Silverstars. 2. Disconnected the connectors on headlight and under the car and sprayed electronic cleaner.3. Disconnected one side at a time.4. Check voltage on working low beam. 12 volts.5. Check voltage on non working high beams 10.7 volts.6. No girlfriend and no beer :(7. ???????Hoping somebody has had this problem or has a good idea.

Did you find anything out...? I am having the same problems. I checked all the fuses and they are all good. I didn't check the voltage. But i was guessing that it was a relay. Just don't know which relay it is.

Have you looked at the timer control unit? It's the little white plastic box by the fuse box. It coordinates headlight functions and a bunch of other stuff.
