Re: H6006 halogen head lights
a long jumper wire and test light your best friend. move the floor mat remove four screws
for the dimmer switch now its on the floor. jump from battery+ to each switch terminal. one is low and one is high beam. the third is power from the headlight switch. High beam indicator wire you have is on the wrong terminal 'foot switch'. Now test light, head switch on find power one of the three now jump the other two find low find high. when you find high beam the indicator goes there because your indicator light is on the power terminal OK after you have found with a jumper nice high and low on the foot switch with jumper and that reads good with a volt meter disconnect jumper now read the voltage of that terminal headlight switch on now what volts. wimpy then its either the dash switch or the feed to the switch that comes from breaker that could be lazey. Please understand I do this all the time its my way but I'm not good at writing. The elements are 1 strong feed to dash switch 2 strong feed to dimmer 3 strong feed from both terminals on foot switch and 4 then its the harness from foot switch to the headlights. sam |

Many times by simply pushing that switch in and out rapidly a number of times, it will clean the internal contacts enough to remedy your issue. Still, test that switch... they're cheap enough if you need to replace it.
