Re: High beams wont work

first try is to pull the bulbs, check the filaments. second thinking is the high-set on your lever won't engage, ouch. Look at the bulbs first.

Oh, slight possible, check your headlight relay and/or fuse. If it in relay, easy two wire-fix, but it means a separate switch, cuz ya have to bypass the relay into two parts.

Re: High beams wont work

if you have a 95-99 cav then if your daytime running lights are your high-beam with less voltage so they are'nt as bright. If these work then it would be the relay for the hi-beam.

I am having the same problem with my 98 cavalier. I have day lights but no head lamps, however my brights will come one, but they won't stay on by themselves I have to hold the switch back with my hand to keep them on. I have checked my fuses and the bulbs are not burnt out, I think I may need a whole new switch. If so how difiicult is that to replace. Also my care radio and clock reset every time I turn the ignition off.

Re: High beams wont work

I had this problem twice with my 2003. First time it was a broken wire somewhere near the battery. It was fixed under warranty. This last time it supposedly was a corroded connector.
