Parentnoia Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 I've had this problem for awhile now and Im just now getting tired of not fixing it. About a year ago, my high beams just flat out stopped working. My regular headlights work, but when I which to my highs, it simply cuts off my lights, leaving just the smaller yellow fog lights. I've heard word that it may be a relay but I dont know where said relay would be. I have the Chiltons(sp?) book for my car, but it doesnt tell me where the wiring harness is, just the colors for the wires. Btw, the car is a 98 Ford Escort SE.

white4d96 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Either a relay or a fuse. Quote Too many projects, too little time...

Parentnoia Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Posted July 22, 2011 No other ideas from anybody? I wanted to ask Snafu directly, but I didnt want to bother him.

Beanz Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 maybe bulb is out? Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.
Parentnoia Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Posted July 22, 2011 maybe bulb is out? If it were the bulb, would my normal lights not work? And why would both bulbs go out at exactly the same time?

Yes your normal headligghts WOULD go out if you hit the high beam switch. There should be either a fuse or a high beam relay under hood or in your fuse box. Try looking up online where to find whichever controls your high beams, whether it be a relay or a fuse issue. Locate it and check it. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
will77530 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 happened to a buddy of mine ended up being a relay that took two weeks to find unfortunately it was in a different vehicle so i cant tell you where yours is Quote

CleanSierra Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Yes. Your normal headlights turn off when you switch to high beams, AS should your fogs. Fog lights should switch off as soon as high beams turn on. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
