i have a 2000 f150. my high beam indicator light doesn't work. put a new bulb in still not working turned bulb around still not working checked the bulb with 0hm meter ok, the high beams work , just the indicator light is the problem. any help would be appreciated

 

Did you remove the cluster prior to this happening ?

The high beam circuit is spliced directly to the high beam indicator on the cluster.

You would need to remove the cluster, and check the gray w/ white stripe wire on connector C236 to see if it has power at the connector to know which way to go.

 

yes i had the cluster off before. changed my lights to leds.

 

Did you try a standard bulb ?

Time to check that wire, to make sure it is still seated in the connector.

 

yes . i tried a standard bulb turned it around & put it on the ohm meter was ok. noe i'll check the conactor. thanks

 

I checked the gray/white wire has 5volts. Then checked the contacts where the bulb twists into the circuit board & and no reading on the volt meter. The connector is seated & prongs are straight. I also checked both fuses their ok. I'm stumped

 

5 Volts ???

That is a small problem, it is part of the high beam circuit, and the high beams will not work too well with 5 volts, needs 12 V.

are you sure of the ground you were using to check this ?

 

I rechecked again and it has 12v to the bulb holder. sorry

 

try swapping bulb holders with another hole. If you're 2wd you can swap with the 4x4 low range light if you need a spare holder, or the "ck susp" light for the air suspension on the expy/gator

or look at the contacts in the bulb holder and make sure they are straight and all that
