Both lowbeam headlight not working

06 GMC Envoy, both headlights not coming on, all other lights work. Just changed both bulbs, it's not the bulbs, checked all fuses, it's not a fuse problem. Just had alternator replaced and pulley's replaced, as well as new belt, about 2 months ago. Any idea's on what else I can check before bringing in to the shop??

Duralast / Relay - Headlamp Part Number:
20601
Autozone: $39.99 I had the exact problem with my 2004 Envoy. You need to replace the Headlamp Relay. This is a very simple fix. The relay is located under the hood in box just above the battery. Pull the cover off of the box, look at underside of box to see layout of relays/fuses, i do not recall the exact abbrevaition used for the headlamp relay but there are only two relays in there that look like the one you need, just play with those two and you will get it. Do not take it to the shop, my wife took ours in and they charged us way to much to diagnose such a simple fix. You can test it before you buy the part by switching the relays that are the same around and seeing if your headlights work (they will). It is as simple as changing what looks like a big fuse.

If the headlight high beam switch is bad, then the low beams will not work. I had the same problem on my truck. I changed the dimmer switch and the problem was corrected. Try checking the switch out first.

My low beam headlights won't turn on in 2004 gmc envoy

It's the headlamp relay #46. If you want to test it, swap it out with the cooling fan relay #45 and see if your headlights work. If they do you know this is the fix. Found the solution online a couple of years ago and it was spot-on. The part was $45 at autozone at the time.

My headlight are not working but my parking lights and my fog lights are? What should I check/

Are your "brights" working. If so, change relay #46 with relay #45. If your lowbeams work again, get a new relay.
