I had a similar problem. I found the switch under the steering wheel cowling was broke. I actually glued and repaired it and have had no further problems.

It has been a long time since I did it but I remember it was fairly easy to remove the cowling and inspect the switch. Good luck, ml

Check to make sure that both lamps aren't burnt out-halogens like to do that.

Nissan pickup I shut off the pickup the left low beam stayed on I bought a headlight/turn signal switch everything works now except the left low beam will not come on

Did you actually check the bulb? It may have burned out or the wiring to it may have lost connection. Some of these vehicles actually have a separate fuse for the left and the right headlights.

Headlights wont work on dim, only bright

Check your head light bulbs, your truck has the dual filiment headlight bulbs one per side which does both high beam and low beam, 9007 bulbs.
If the low beam filiments are burned out only the high beam will work.
Also look into finding out if the headlight switch is gone bad.
The headlight module and or drl module maybe defective.

Headlight high beams do not work. I have even replaced the headlights. Low beam worksbut when switching to the high beams they turn off. Please help.

Hello. Generally when this happens, the high-low beam switch has gone bad and needs to be replaced. If you are handy you can do this your self. Otherwise, any autoelectric repair shop is your best bet. J.

Replaced headlight with a new one and headlight

If the headlamp burned out it would be more than likely that there is a blown fuse , there is a fuse each for the high and low beams.

Low beam headlights do not work, but high beam headlights do

Clyde,

I've been troubleshooting this same problem on a different vehicle this week, and I can give you the steps I'd take.

1. If both sides went out at the same time, the problem is *NOT* likely to be the bulbs.

2. Check the fuses to see if both low beam lights are on the same fuse. Many cars have one fuse for low beam and another for high beam, so both lights out at the same time typically means fuse blown.

3. If the headlights are OK and the fuses are OK, then the problem is *LIKELY* the headlight switch. In my case, AutoZone has one and it can be installed easily; but in your case, that may not be as simple.

Please post your findings or comments.
