Highbeams not working...

**swordsman** · April 3rd, 2007 02:10 PM

Ayaw na gumana highbeams ko for both left and right headlights. Last week, hindi gumana pero nung nag-turn on then off ako, gumana ulit. This week, ayaw na talaga. Lowbeam na lang gumagana. Since sabay nawala highbeam, i assume hindi naman siguro sa bulbs(replaced a couple of months ago).

What do you guys think is wrong? I plan to take the car to Rey's Electrical in Cubao this Sat(kung open sila).

probable causes:

a) fuse
b) relays (kung nag-upgrade ka.)
c) high beam switch

nagkaroon na akong prob na ganyan. kung di ka pa nagpapalagay ng h/l relays, bawas ang prob.. mostly stock systems have 1 relay for 2 lights(high and low)

sa switch lang yan. ganito kung DIY ka, open mo yung cover sa manibela, remove mo yung switch( kung kailangan alisin ang mainibela, do so) linis lang sa contacts sa sitch yan dude..pero never mo pa modify ang wirings, magkakashort ka!

pasingit. yung sa akin, minsan di gumagana ang high beam. yung signal beam (tama ba tawag don? yung inaangat), di talaga gumagana. madali lang ba DIY yon? ok ba lagyan lang ng lighter fluid ang relay?

thanks guys. may relays na 'to since nag-upgrade ako ng higher wattage na bulbs. will check my relays connections, baka may loose lang, and then the fuse.

upgrade ka pala ng bulbs w/o putting relay..malamang nagka-burn-out ang switch mo, ganyan nangyari sa aking maxima noon, nagpalit ako ng higher wattage bulb, column switch ko nag-suffer...costed me 500 sa palinis na kayang kaya ko palang i-DIY!

to be sure, check mo din bulbs.
yan din ang akala ko before, parang imposibleng sabay ma burn yung bulbs.
hinanap ko pa from fuse to wiring. nung tinanggal ko bulbs to test, ayun ang culprit. busted.

meron pong relays. i just replaced the bulbs 2-3 months ago kasi napundi na yong dati pa. same wattage pa rin. so i think something got loose sa wiring nung ginalaw dahil nga nagpalit.
