Turn Signal Lever 2004 Ford Focus LX

Oh dear, I can smell a fire coming soon.

Low Beam System Operation
The headlamps may be turned on two different ways. First, when the end of the of the turn signal/headlamp switch lever is turned to the second detent position, the headlamps will illuminate. A ground signal is provided to the DRL control module. The module then provides a ground path to the coils of the HLP relay. Since the head relay is provided with battery voltage to both the contacts and the coil, the coil becomes energized and closes the contacts providing voltage to the DIM relay. With voltage and ground provided, the low beam lamps light. Second, with the switch in the OFF position, for automatic lamp control (ALC). During ALC the headlamps will be in one of the following modes of operation:
• Daytime running lamp (DRL) operation in daylight conditions, refer to DRL below for the operation of the circuit.
• Low beam headlamp operation in low light conditions. When the ambient light sensor senses a low light condition for approximately 15 seconds, it will cancel DRL operation and turn on the headlamps at 100 percent intensity. A path to ground is provided to the coil of the HLP relay. With a direct path to ground provided to the headlamps though the DRL control module, the headlamps will light at 100 percent intensity.
High Beam System Operation
The high-beam headlamp operation is controlled using the turn signal/headlamp switch lever on the steering column. In order to change headlamp operation from low-beam to high-beam, push the switch lever toward the instrument panel (until the detent is felt) and release. With the switch lever in the high beam position, ground is provided to the DRL control module through the turn signal/headlamp switch and splice pack 200 to G200. The DRL control module provides a ground to the coil of the dimmer relay. Since voltage is being applied to the dimmer relay coil, it becomes energized. Voltage is then applied through the closed contacts of the dimmer relay and the to the high beam lamps in the headlamps. Since ground is provided to the headlamps through the closed contacts of the energized DIM relay, the high beam lamps light. The high-beam indicator (blue) in the instrument cluster will light during high-beam headlamp operation. In order to change headlamp operation back to low-beam operation, pull the turn signal switch lever toward the driver (until the detent is felt) and release.Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.

How do I get my High beams to turn off when the switch/lever is not working? (2012) Ford Explorer

Sounds like the headlight dimmer switch is defective. Remove the steering column covers and replace the switch.

Tom, the high beams are operated via a relay in the engine compartment under the hood. Go there and remove the cover. Printed inside, typically, is a diagram for all fuses and relays. Find the one for the headlights. Have some one operate the lever in the car and listen for a small click on that relay. If no sound is heard most likely relay is stuck. They simply pull up and out. Go to car parts store and buy replacement.

These is also the likelihood that the switch in steering column is the issue but this will tell you that is the case. If replacing the relay dose not clear the problem then it's a much larger project to replace the switch stalk. Do the relay first.

it sounds like a bad light switch

just replace the dimmer switch under the column its wore out on the low beam side

Should be fairly easy. Make sure to disconnect the positive battery cable. Remove the cover from around the column behind the steering wheel. Should take a star driver to remove the screws holding the cover together. Once the screws are removed pop the cover apart and you will see the multifunction switch on the column, should have two to three screws holding it to the column remove the screws and it should come out pretty easy replace with new one and put back together.

Push the lever forward to turn on high beams, if they do not work when you do this. You need a new high/low beam switch.

pull on the signal lever toward you (ceter position). the signal lever controls the head lights either high beam or low beam. if you pull on the signal lever toward you again, you will have high beam temporarily. and if you push the signal lever towards the front, you will have the high beam locked.
