Could be becauce if you dont have low beams and high beams do work once you replace them with new bulbs low beams should work.

SOURCE: I have replaced my headlights but the low beam

Get the wiring diagram and check for the wire for the low beam circuit. May need to be replaced along with the connector.

My head lights went out but my parking light are still on what could be the problem

I would check the fuses first. Headlights are typically on a separate fuse then the parking lights. If the fuse is fine check and see if the Bulb is burnt out but it is rare for both lights to go out at the same time.

My 98 Sable headlights only work on high beams. Is this just a bulb or do I need to replace the headlamps?

Check voltage circuits. The ten amp fuses are for low beam. Turn on the headlamps, lo beam setting, use a test lite to check voltage on those two fuses. If no voltage may be problem with dimmer switch?

I recently replaced a heater fan on a 1992 chevy lumina euro, and now the headlights will not work on it, the rest of the lights do but the headlights wont, i checked all the fuses on the car including the...

Have you tried High Beam and Low Beam? Your headlamps are powered by a self-resetting circuit breaker located in the Component Center which is located under the right side of the dash. (see picture)dttech_4.gif It is not likely that the circuit breaker has failed.(although possible)
If neither the high beams or low beams work, you probably have a bad Headlamp Switch or a bad Dimmer Switch. If one works and the other doesn't, I would check the bulbs first. If the bulbs are good, then you still may have a bad switch. Also check all your ground wires near the headlamps.

1994 ford f-150 with day time running lights headlightnot working

Daytime Running Lamps
The daytime running lamp (DRL) system is designed to turn the high beam headlamps on, with a reduced light output, and without illuminating the high beam indicator lamp in the instrument panel. You have a DRL Module.
The multifunction switch is the stalk on your column.

This is 96 F150 circuit. Don't have 94.

My headlights dont work,.all other lights are fine though,.is it the fuses or the bulbs? im not sure what fuses they would be,.there seem to be different ones for the same thing

do your flash to pass lamps light when you pull the stalk towards you? If yes, the bulbs are ok.
Do the hig beams work?
Your headlamps have sepaerate fuses for each headlamp and you have a low beam relay and a high beam relay under the hood in the black box.
If everything is out, I suspect a bad headlamp switch.
Check car-part.com and look on page with * for cheapest price.

Your owner manual will identify fuses & relays.

PS, You did not recently instal high current bulbs did you? If yes, put originals back in.

HEADLAMPS

The voltage is supplied to the lamp switch through a fuse. This fuse is located in the central junction box in the left-hand footwell.
When the headlamps are switched on, a voltage is supplied to the high beam/low beam switch and to the low beam relay. The relay for the low beam is located in the battery junction box (BJB) in the engine compartment.
If the high beam/low beam switch is set to "low beam", then a voltage is supplied through the low beam relay to the low beam part of the headlamp assembly. The left and right-hand low beams are fused separately. The fuses are located in the battery junction box (BJB) in the engine compartment.
If the high beam/low beam switch is set to "high beam", then a voltage is supplied through the high beam relay to the high beam part of the headlamp assembly. The left and right-hand high beams are fused separately. The fuses are located in the battery junction box (BJB) in the engine compartment.

Headlights are not working

Strange headlamp problems on Saabs can often be attributed to a failing Headlamp relay. Here are a few common situations:
Issue1- Headlamp switch will work backwards: Turn on the switch andtheheadlights go off and turn off the switch and the headlights willgoon.
Issue 2 - High beams will disappear. You will havenohighbeams. Be sure to check the headlight bulbs PRIOR to orderingtherelay. Remember however that it is possible for both high beams burnout at the same time
Issue3 - High beams will not work only the low beams will.
Issue 4 - A single bulb setting (low or high) on either side will not work and bulb replacement will fix it.
Youcan sometimesfix these issues by removing the relay, taking off thecover andresoldering the connections on the relay bottom. To performthis repair, go to my illustrated tutorial at customsaab.com.
In some cases youwill have to replace the relay to effect a long term cure. The aftermarket replacement can be had at Eeuroparts.com for about $60.00:
