Low beams don't work
 
Hey guys,

I have a 87 Max and my low beams don't work. The high beams work but not the low. I purchased new bulbs, same thing lows don't work highs do. Anybody have a clue what might be wrong?

1) fuse
2) relay
3) switch
4) dunno.

Strong possiblity it's the switch...check and see if any other lights, other than the dome light, act odd...if it'sa the switch, save the hassle and buyt a new one, not one from a wrecking yard...they average about $125 for the entire combo switch the mounts to the column...

Where is the relay located?

does any thing buzz when you try to use your low beams?

a bad relay will not always make a buzzing sound...the relay should be under the hood, next to the battery, in the relay control box, if i remember right...i could be wrong.

no not always but if it buzzes then its easier to find

no buzzing. All the other lights work, turn signal and side marker lights. I will check the relay tomorrow and see if that is the problem. It's weird.
