Re: Highbeam issues

Sounds like it could be a faulty multi-function switch. Check to see if your brake lights work, with headlights on, off, and with highbeams on.

Re: Highbeam issues

I agree with Tim, it's most likely either the M/F switch, or the headlamp switch. There's an outside chance it could be the ignition harness/switch, but less likely. Follow Tim's advice and post the results.

brake lights work is there anyother way to test to be sure of the problem?

Re: Highbeam issues

if the brake lights/running lights work, I'd say it's the multi-function switch, the switch that changes from high to low beams is part of it and not replaceable by itself.
