Jan 23, 2014 - My driver's side lights are working fine - high and low beams. ... But it definitely looks like the big lamp on the driver's side gets brighter when ..... Drivers side headlight is very dim on low beam and goes out when on high beam ...
These trucks are known for bad multifuction switches. the switch that i talk of is the signal switch , the handle is the switch, it bolts to side of steering column . this switch controls the signals and the headlights and high /low beams. the other thing is the headlight switch connector, the connector some times goes bad and starts to melt or just comes out of the connector. you will need to remove the cover to steering column, the screws are located under the bottom cover in holes. remove cover and check connector and then test for power if you have power going into switch but not coming out then switch is bad.
the last thing is to make sure the bulbs are good , make sure the headlight bulbs are good , and also the driving light bulbs, test for power at the connectors to those lights to. You will need to do a little testing to find the problem.
the high beams work fine and power goes to the only when vehicle is on when it is off no power gets to the low beam side of the right headlight. ????????
the high beam switch is at fault A new one is needed The directional lever you pull up on to switch to high and low connects to a rod which is going to the high beam switch at the mid section of the steering coluum. It is a headache to change for your on your head replacing this part
Check the fuses under the hood...chances are it's one of them....there's not much left to check after that....check the fuses inside the car as well...it might be the high beam switch is bad that switches the low beams to high beams inside the car.
