2002 chevy avanalanche - low beam dont work always

+
If the truck starts with them on, I can not turn them to high beam and back.

sometimes they work in the morning but once the truck is shut off, low beams will not come back on.

High beam works well, and I drive with that at night

The most common cause of this problem is the multifunction switch.

I have a 2002 Chevy blazer xtreme and I want to know why my high beams work and low beams dont?

Replacement bulbs aren't very much money - replace one and see if it works. If they haven't been replaced since it was manufactured, it's probably time.

You have a bad electrical connection. Check the wiring harness and both sides of it's connectors for corrosion and or breakage. The connector terminals will become worn and corroded and the wiring sheaths a prone to weathering and become brittle. Replace or clean as needed.

Have headlight problem 2002 chevy malibu v-6 on the dim side have electria current on both wires to the blub bright beams function normal

if you have power to both headlight plugs for each low and high beam filaments and the ground is good as you say the high beams function normally then you either have bad low beam bulb filaments,poor or dirty connection or you have a daytime running headlight relay on the car and that is the problem with the low beam lights.yes the high beams will work but not low beams if it is the relay.

I have a chevy s10 2002,the headlights do not turn on, the high beam works fine, bulbs are fine. thanks for help

If it's not the bulbs, be sure to check them, might be dual filament and the high beam wire is fine but the headlight one is shot, one bad wire would cause both headlights not to work.
Hopefully that's the problem, if not, it could be blown fuse/short in the wire. Try checking power/ground at the bulb to reduce the possible problems. If it has both with the headlights "on" then it's the bulb, if it's missing one then follow the wire for any irregularities.
They sometimes pass the wires under the flooring right near the drivers feet, which is a perfect place for water/salt to seep in and corrode wires.

Low Beam headlights not working

The daytime running lights run the high beam bulbs at low voltage so it sounds like you need to put the relays back where they were and either replace the low beam bulbs or repair the wiring to them.Also the relay you removed could be defective.
