I recently put a set of bi-xenon lamps in my 04 F150. They work fine, except... the high beam only works if you pull the turn signal switch back and hold it. If you push it forward the lights go off. Any ideas??

I am currently getting the 12 volt for the relay from the passenger side headlamp socket (factory harness) since it wasn't being used anyway. Maybe I should pull the 12 direct from the battery?

My fog lamps are stock and they work fine. Not problem with the highbeam indicator.

I searched but did not find anyone else with the same problem.

Thanks

 

i guess i gotta ask it.

have u checked the fuse for the high beams?

#35 - 20A Instrument cluster high beam indicator, High beam headlamps

(i know u said ur HB indicator is ok but check the fuse anyway)

 

I will check that today. I am also going to move me 12 volt power to the relay direct to the battery.

Thanks

 

Checked the fuses. All the low beam are good and the hi-beam uses a relay, which I assume is good since the hi-beams work in on direction.

 

I just figured it out. As I said I was getting the 12v from the other headlamp harness to feed the relay. I now remember, when just high beams are on the 12v I was using turns off, but it stays on if you flash-to-pass.

All works well now.

Thanks!
