Low beam question

Post by Monk »

Well, for the last little while I noticed when I turn on head lights, I flick the headlamp switch but a second later the lights come on,.

I didn't think much about it, till tonight !! But then I turned on the low beam and it didn't come on (parking lights works) so I flicked the high beam and high beam worked, so I drove for a bit like that then tryed the low beam and it worked then..

Is there a relay for the low beam? Or can the issue be with the high/low beam coloumn switch ?

When I pulled into my driveway, all was fine, but I knew something was "off" from before, rather fix now before totally dead,. Lol especially at night....

I Think your H1 is telling you it needs an LED headlight conversion!! Hint Hint!!

You could have a weak switch maybe order one from Roy today.

possible switch, but likely needing new lamps.

Between you and polar bear, lol , heheh

I'm feeling the hint ;)

Not so subtle guys, haha but yes that would be a great project,..


I will be doing a write up soon, un fortunately my truck was coolant peeing couple days ago from the water pump ....

Roy to the recuse!!

We're doing the water pump today,.... H/0 pump (might help for extra btu for heat as well)

Be nice to get rid of the old school 85gpm pump and get th 130gpm on.

I'll take pics, as we go,

I'm assumeing we must put on our band aids first? Hehe

The VERY first thing I had to change when I got my truck were those parts as well, even my ring was a rusted badly also,
