| Question: |
After washing my car the other day I turned on the headlights only to have them come on for a split second and then nothing. My high beams and fog lights are still working so I figured it was a fuse or relay. I swapped out fuse and relay under the hood marked headlamps and still nothing. I can hear what I am guessing is the relay click when I turn the switch to on. Any ideas what the problem could be. Is it possible that something could have blown both bulbs simultaenously? Thanks |
| Answer: | Craig, It is possible to blow the low-beam filaments in both bulbs. There may have been moisture build up on one bulb, and it could have blown. That can cause a large power surge to the other bulb, and it can blow as well. Hopefully, simply replacing both the bulbs will remedy your problem. Aside from that, it could be a malfunctioning headlight switch. But I would guess it's just a bulb problem. Good luck! |
