Switch is bad or ya got a short somewhere. Take voltage meter and test all ur wiring in the harness where it may looklike it could be damaged or tight. also chk make sure all lights are working.

Faulty relay under dash somewhere for high beams or faulty switch on steering column. relay should click on and off suspect relay stuck in high beam on most likely location of relay is under bonnet or side panel on vehicle.

SOURCE: high beam problem

Just to clarify, the high beam and low beam bulbs are the same bulb. It is a dual element bulb. If the bulbs and switch are known good, check the high beam relay.

SOURCE: 05 Jeep Wrangler High Beams Work, Low Beams dont

There are no relays for the headlights. Your problem could be from the headlight switch. You would have to check and see if you have power coming out of the switch on the low beam side. Check with a test light.

SOURCE: Jeep Headlights not working. High beam works

had the same problem on my 92....check under the hood on the drivers side,towards the front,there is a "junction box" with all of the lighting wires connecting from the switches to the lights.My wires were all corroded inside,so I cleaned the ends and bought a new box from the local electronic supply store.The problem has not come back.

try taking your tilt steering(steeringwheel) and check which setting its on if the tilt steering is all the way down click it up to the next setting and then try your low beams if that still doesn't work try it one more click up you might have a short or pinched wire in your wheel colum

What can be the problem with my Kia Sportage 2013 high beam, left one works fine but right one comes on and then switches off. Earth is good so are the globes.

So when the car is off and you have your headlights switched on both the low beam setting and high beam setting work normally. But once you start your car your low beam headlights work but when you switch to your high beams the right headlight shuts off? I don't know how that'd be possible since the controls for your high beam and low beams aren't connected to whether the engine is running I'd suggest changing your headlight bulbs

My daytime running lights work, high beams will come on but switch wont stay on, have to hold it. Low beams do not work and daytime running light dash indicator stays on all the time. Is it a relay or...

if you have to hold the switch so the high beams stay on then that indicates a bad/worn switch,you could have 2 problems the day time running light relay may have a problem with it.i would first replace the headlight switch at the base of the steering colume as by the info you supply its not changing to the high beam side without holding the switch in position.

2005 Ford Focus ZX3 SES, the blue high beam indicator in the dash comes on with low beams, and goes off with high beams. The indicator is on at the wrong time! I have tried the following: The turn signal...

It sounds like you are confused about how your headlamp system is supposed to work. The DRL does not run on the High beam circuit, it runs on the low beam circuit. The fog lamps are supposed operate with the park lamps and also with the low beams, not the high beams. From your description, I would say that your system is operating as designed and you are having trouble telling High from Low. (Don't feel bad, that is why high beam indicators were invented in the first place.)

Don't know that much about 99 Surburbans but you may won't to see if you could just unplug it from the cluster or maybe see if thiers a fuse for your lights that you can take out
