Oldsmobile :: When Hit Dimmer Switch To Select High Beams, Headlights Cut Out


Jun 14, 2015

I have a 1941 Oldsmobile and when I hit the headlight dimmer switch to select high beams my headlights cut out . My car has all original wiring and I suspect a short at one of the terminal blocks. I am unsure how to troubleshoot this problem. I cannot select my model number below I have a model 76 Dynamic Cruiser.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: How To Switch From Low To High Beams

Just purchased a 2009 Sonata and the dealer did not give me an owners manual. In a recent phone call he promised to be mailing one so with that said I've looked on countless forums about this tedious issue I am having. I can't seem to figure out how to turn my high beams on. All other lights are working correctly and from a diagram i read online its like any standard high beam, just pull the lever forward. I've tried every which way but can't even get the light on dash to turn on telling me the high beams are even available. I clearly see them in the front of my car. And driving at night they would make a big difference on those back roads.

Celica :: Headlights Adjustment - High And Low Beams

I just bought our 1st. Toyota 03 celica GT 5speed.113000 well cared for miles. My biggest concern is the headlight adjustment. The high beams are similar to aircraft landing lights but the low beams seem to cross with the left side too far to the center. I found the up-down adjuster (wish it had the cab operated feature) but can't find the left-right adjustment.

Prius (Gen 2) :: High Beams Go On When Headlights Turned On / Won't Turn Off

Anytime I turn the headlights on, the high beams go on too; I cannot switch off the high beams unless I turn off the headlights entirely (I have been driving with the low beams on during the day for the 5 years I have had the car)

I can find no reason for this; I'm inspecting the fuses (with little expectation). The only thing I can think of is the control switch or wiring. I have standard headlamps, not hid.

99 Buick LeSabre ... I only have one low-beam working, the other low-beam bulb went out today ... When I switch to high-beams, the high-beams come on, but I cannot turn them off via the manual light on/off switch on the door panel ...

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2001- Headlights Malfunction - Only High Beams Are Working

So I bought an 01 GTI last week with a decent amount of things pre-modified including a Jetta front end swap? Anyway the guy I bought it from knew absolutely nothing about what had been done to the car other than the fact that there was an HID kit installed and it was set up to run high beams only.

I figured I'd remove the HID's until i drop some cash on a pair of nice projector housings. I removed them and plugged up some nice sylvania bulbs as per the OEM standard 9007, and figured I'd have no issues... They are still stuck on high beam only... What could be causing this?

Camry :: 2002 High Beams And Turn Signals Work But Headlights Not Working

I bought a used 2002 Camry (at a discounted price because of a few dings and dents) and the headlights are not working. The high beams and turn signals work but not the headlights. I changed the bulbs, checked all the fuses and got a new relay but still nothing. I brought it to an electro-mechanic and he told me the ECM was busted and that he could maybe grind it down. This seemed odd to me so I called my old mechanic in the states who said he has never heard of an ECM causing headlights not to work and suggested I install a toggle switch. Does this sound like it could work? Could I do this on my own? I'm pretty handy but am a little hesitant to try any electrical work on my car as I have no experience with electrical work.

I have checked fuse 46 and 47, and installed new headlight bulbs. I have high beams, but no low beams. I have searched this topic but no one has the same prob it seems. My headlight switch has broken. Could it be the headlight switch?

In my manual, it says the 2002 has a fuse panel behind the glove box. I took glove box out but it doesn't look like a fuse panel.

Ford Wiring/Electrical :: 1997 - Headlights / Brake Lights Cut Off When Hit High Beam Switch?

So I recently bought a 1997 7.3l F250. It is in fairly good condition, but it has some problems with the lights working. The turn signals and hazards all work, as do the tail lights and headlights. However, when I hit the high beam switch, the headlights cut off entirely. Also, the brake lights do not work at all. Ive checked the bulbs and since they all work Im not sure what the issue is.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Low Beams Went Out / High Beams Functional

After spending weeks ordering parts and doing research on this issue all my attempts have not solved the issue. To reiterate the issue, the high beams work, and the low beams do not. Thus far I have attempted the following without the desired result-

1. Changed the headlights out just in case both bulbs burnt at once.

2. Changed the blinker stalk in hopes of a faulty switch.

3. Changed the headlight switch to a brand new OEM Euro style switch.

4. Checked all fuses (did this first actually).
