JWC Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 When I go to put on my Hi Beam head lights the lights turn off, is there a relay or some thing that would cause this to happen? If so where is it located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 There are two possible problems.(1) high beam relay, located inside the car..console area.under normal conditions, the relay sends 12v to the low beams. When you turn on the high beams the relay coil is activated and it switches to high beams. (2) a broken wire at the drivers side headlight.Over time, the wires plugging into the back of the headlight often get rerouted incorrectly. This causes the wires to flex and they break inside the connector, but they look normal as the outside plastic insulation is still holding the wire in place.If it breaks on the drives side you loose both light, if it breaks on the passanger side, only that light is affected. The attached picture shows the headlight wire properly routed over the casting, coming from the fender side. This photo also shows the headlight upstop...the off-white hex head plastic thing that stops the headlights from shaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
