2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Head light problems

[PKozlowski]

I have an 01 2500.



One of my head lights burned out so I went to the store

and got two new ones. I installed them and now my

high beam light on the dash stays on.



Gets brighter on low beam and dimmer on high beam.



The head lights are not putting out much light on low beam.

Not much at all.



Help!

Sounds like the multifunction switch to me. Check your relays though.



The circuit is probably searching for a path to ground.

You might try checking the plug, it might have some corrosion or a burnt spot and check your grounds.

Thanks. I'll check it out

as stated about check grounds they will do some crazy stuff.

When I had problems with mine it turned out to be a bad plug that plugs onto the bulb. I replaced them and have had no more problems.

Not to ask a dumb question but are sure you got the correct replacement bulbs? If you plug a 9004 bulb into a 9007 socket or vice versa it will exhibit those symptoms. Same socket, different contacts for high, low and ground paths.
