SOURCE: low beam headlight on Pilot 2004

Hi again,

I lookd for the Technical Service Bulletin on headlights that you referred to in our Live Chat. It is Service Bulletin 07-027 dated May 12, 2007. A downloadable copy is avaibale here. It contains procedures, photos and images on how to address the issue. However, may I point out that said TSB refers to both left & right low beams and not only the right.

Hope this be of additional help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: low beams on head lights not working

Hi,

I had this problem.
In Canada all cars come with daytime running lights- (DRL) My 2004 Kia Sedona had this problem and it was the DRL Module.

Serach internet to find it's location. ( I think it is under the centre console, but dealer changed under warranty)

It should not be hard to find and change - It is usually just a small plastic box... plus or minus the size of a fist.

I don't know if DRL is required in the USA but it may be standard on Kias

sounds like the problem is the dimmer switch, get a price on the dimmer switch. If you have to, get one at a junk yard . It's cheaper.

SOURCE: 2003 envoy low beams will not work.fuses

For the I6 engine there is a relay for low beams, it's relay # 46. Switch it with relay #45 (runs the fan, same model relay) and see if your lights now come on. These 2 relays are the only 2 black ones in there (part # 15016745). Also, try to clean the contacts very well on the fuse box and the relay. If not, you may have some frayed wiring in the harness.

By the way, the high beam relay is #43, the gray one next to the windshield wiper relay #42.frontfuses.jpg

2001 ford ranger , no high or low beam lights
Check the On/Off switch on the dash, steering column, and the steering arm/lever is connected properly and that the lighting cable's are cable connectors are connected and not corroded.
1, To check the Earth: Connect a cable from the earth of the bulb to the chassis/body/ metal part of the car.
2, Using a Test lamp: Disconnect the cable that connects the power to the head light bulb, Connect one end of the test lamp to any one of the connectors at the end of the cable that plug's into the bulb. With the low beam on, only one of these wire's will the light switch turned on will light up the test lamp bulb. If none of the cable's light the test lamp bulb. the problem is in the High beam relay, and possibly the Low beam relay as well.
One Head lamp relay: If one cable show a light in the test lamp, check the earth cable on that lamp.
Two Head lamp relay: If two cable's show a light in the test lamp, check the earth cable on that lamp.
Some of the car's electrical systems use the Steering column as an earth point. Check the switch.
In many cases are what is called Earth return (this means that the positive power (+) is supplied by one wire, and the negative earth (-) is connected via another wire) this is to reduce the problems of the rust effecting the power flow.

Low beams gone on 2005buick lacross
look at the bulbs first.
there is the possibility that the headlamp switch is defective. Take the connector off and replace slowly to see if the connection is ok.
Put a jumper wire from battery to low beams. if this turns on the lights the switch is bad.
Then try the dimmer switch on steering column. Work back and forth a few times and watch for the lights to come on hard or flicker.
if the flicker replace switch assembly. again if nothing jumper the battery wire to low beams. If this turns the lights on replace switch.
Last the running lights module. jumper the wires again. replace if necessary.

Low beams dont turn on........... bulbs check ok...................fuses under hood ok.............need help
{: ) I wonder how you checked the fuses and the bulbs. Did you check also the HDM fuse 15amp and the HDM relay both at the underhood fuseblock? Turn on the low beam and check for 12v at the LO beam fuses. If there is voltage at the fuses but the low beam ok bulbs won't light, then there's a wiring issue from your fuseblock going to the bulbs.
But if no voltages on the LO fuses when the low beam is switched on, then the problem could be on the HDM fuse or relay, the headlamp switch, the BCM, or even the fuseblock.

I have a 2001 ford explorer sport with no high or low beams. when i pull the signal/wiper arm towards me i get the "passing" high beam but other than that i am running on just fog lights. fuses...
yes, ideas,your headlight switch on the steering column may be going bad. try tilting your steering column up and down while pulling headlight switch on, do your headlights turn on and off by them selfs? careful!! this is a hot or positive wire grounding to metal,which could lead to a fire in the steering column!! do you ever see,or smell smoke coming from the steering wheel? if you do,disconnect the positive cable from your battery immeadiatlly!! the only way to replace the switch is the removal of your steering wheel,if you are'nt mechanically inclined,i recommend you get a 2nd opinion and go forward with your problem as it can lead to a fire in your steering wheel or fuse panel! if all your fuses are good,and only have fog lights,but no low or high beams,but pull back on the turn signal switch,you have a problem with the headlight switch.located on the 'turn signal,high beam,low beam switch' on the steering column. the only way to repair,is replace it. sorry!! can recommend autozone auto parts,advance auto parts or try used parts place.but if you are keeping the car,recommend"new" part replacement. thank you for choosing fixya.com!!if we can be of further assistance,please repost your questions to fixya.com!

Headlights or brights will not turn on. Running lights turn on. Fuse and relay are both fine.
I looked in the Honda technical manual wiring diagrams and I don't think there is a separate relay for the low beam headlights. The headlight switch itself is located right above the steering column where the headlight stalk is attached - controls parking lights, high beams and low beams. It could be that a relay is integrated within this switch,

2006 GMC Envoy low beam headlights dont work. All fuses, and bulb filements, are fine.
Hello, try to start by checking the headlight relay and headlight fuse. You also may want to check to make sure the bulbs aren't blown out. If those parts check out to be fine and in working order, you may need to replace the turn signal assembly in the steering column. This part controls the hi/low beams. This may sound crazy but, when GM wired their older trucks, they wired the headlights to go from the battery, to the hi/low beam switch, then to the headlight switch (to the left of the steering wheel) then out to the light bulbs. You can kind of test to see if this part is good by making a fist and (with your headlights on) gently hitting the plastic cover for your steering column that is right behind your actual steering wheel. This could cause your headlights to flicker on and off.

Thanks

Have you checked both low beam bulbs? I have seen both burn out close together.Does this have tilt steering wheel? If it does,remove the plastic steering column cover.Check the wiring to the dimmer/turn switch.The connector ends would pull out of the hard shell connector,when using the tilt feature.The wire harness was mounted too tight,and didn't allow for the angle in tilt.
