High Beams quit working what do i do?

Pclacross · February 8th, 2007, 05:05 PM

I have a 2002 mustang gt and when i went to start my car one day the high beams stopped working for some reason. When ever I pull back on the blinker it doesn't do anything, and when I push it all the way forward it shuts off the low beams too for some reason.

I thought it may be the fuse so I checked it and it was still good. It has been extremely cold here and I was wondering if that may have anything to do with it either. Does anybody have any suggestions on what to do?

well your lows always turn off when you put your highs on... thats normal... as far as them not turning on... this is a long shot but are the bulbs still good?

BOTH of the high beam lights are out? +1 on what ibanez said.. the low beams turn off when you click the blinker stick forward...

If both of the high beams were working and then suddenly both stopped working, it sounds like something common to both caused them to stop working, i.e. it doesn't sound like both bulbs burned out at once.

Are you sure the fuse you checked was for the high beams?

Also, check the wiring for the high beams.

the low beams work fine when I pull the blinker back the low beams stay on and it basically stays the same as if I didnt pull it back. When I push the blinker forward the low beams turn off and there are no high beams and just the yellow running lights stay on. I double checked the high beam fuse and it is not the fuse so i dont really no what to do. The bulbs are fine too.

this may seem stupid but the connection on the headlights might be out, the prong might be loose, it happened with my hid's, they werent working, so i checked the prongs and they were loose, so i fixed them and they worked fine. thats all i got
