subi dude Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 So a while ago when i went wheelen through the trails and lots of puddles, it got dark by the time i left. I turned my headlights on, and whenever i would switch from high beams down to low beams, they would hesitate for about two-three seconds before turning on. This eventually got worse and started becoming five to seven seconds to turn on. And now tonight the low beams finally decided to not turn on at all anymore. Again, high beams work just fine, so im getting power. but my low beams are not working at all. I checked all the fuses for the heck of it, but i know thats not going to be it, otherwise they wouldnt work at all. So, what should i be looking at?? PLEASE help. i need to see without blinding everyone. Thanks, subi_dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wentz912 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Contacts in the switch are probably corroded/dirty. Take apart the column to get to the switch and clean it up. That's the first cheap/free thing I would try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomRhere Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 When you remove the trim on the steering column to check the dimmer switch, check the connector for it also. Had the main feed in that connector gety hot and caused me to loose the low-beam lights. Brights worked, but not the lows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomRhere Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 So if it was this connector or whatever it is that got hot on yours. What exactly do i do to replace or fix it? I cut the wires that were bad right near the connector and used some bullet connectors to make the connection. No futher issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
