I am looking for some assistance in tracking down missing power to my driver's side high beam. Front head lights and rear lights all work find except for when I switch to high beams. The hi-beam on the drivers side goes out. everything else stays operating as normal. I know it is not a bad bulb, as I have already tested to see if I have fully functioning high and low beam bulbs. Any suggestions on where to start to see why I am getting power to the bulb on low, but not on high?
Thanks in advance.

I don't have both high beams out just the drivers side. Shouldn't both high beams be out if the fuse is bad?

Hi Lo Left Right. 4 fuses for the headlights. If the fuse is good clean the contacts.
Also switching the Hi & Lo feed wires off the relay (white & yellow) will tell you if the bulb is bad.

Cleaning the fuse contacts did the trick. Thank you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
