I'm new to the forum and hope someone can help me. I have a 2013 Rogue SL. The wipers work fine with the low beams on but as soon as you put the high beams on they stop completely. If you switch back to low beams the start workings again. Also if you have the high beams on for a little bit the low tire pressure light will start flashing. It will stop flashing when you switch back to low beams. I also noticed when I had the hood up with the high beams on, there's almost like a buzzing sound coming from the fuse relay controller (fuse box) under the hood. Again it only does it with the brights on. The car was involved in an accident which leads me to think that maybe one of the circuit boards in the controller may have been damaged. It's an awfully expensive part to just to buy on a hunch. It runs a little over $300. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What does your mechanic say about the issue?

Are you still under warranty?

No it's not still under warranty. I replaced the relay and it still does the same thing. I'm afraid I might have to bite the bullet and replace the the whole controller :facepalm:
