High beam problems

shh_yogi_shh

hey everyone, my problem is when my low beams are both driver and passenger side work but when i turn on the highs only the driver side stays on. the passenger side high and low completely cut off and my bumper light comes on? is something grounding out? any help i can get is great thanks

Is your passenger side high beam fuse still good?

check fuses

Check fuses. If other lights are coming on instead it could be a earth/ground problem. Or a wiring fault (chafed wires touching etc. Earth is more likely

Earth is refering to your body being a ground. I agree that you probably have chaffed wires and you will need to trace the wres and look over all of the wires near your lights that are giving issues. BTW, it's possible you do have a bad headlight switch assembly , happened to me on my old crx.

ok thank you sir. i do have a cracked assembly thats kinda just hangin. would another out of a sedan or hatch work just as good?

leWolf

you mean switch assembly? yeah that should work.

i just fixed this today. idk much about wiring or what stuff is called but on the side that the lights are messed up on, all the ground wires run into a little plastic box. theres a metal piece that bolts onto the car that runs into the plastic piece that all the ground wires are in. undo that bolt so its free, pop the top open on the plastic case, then pull out the metal piece that is connected to the all the ground wires. then i look the metal piece, soaked it in wd40, wiped the softened grime off it, and took a wire scuffer to it to make sure it was nice and clean. then i took the scuffer to where it bolted on and got that cleaned up, put it back together, and everything works great now. i was going to get pictures of it but my camera was dead.
