Headlight Problem

sammykitch · April 5, 2007

I have a 1998 Silverado. When I turn on my headlights the DRL indicator light stays on and I have no High beams. What could be the problem? I just bought the truck and would like high beams. I also tried turning on the headlight switch with the engine off and all the lights except the headlights came on. Could the switch be the problem.

It sounds like someone did an HID upgrade then removed it before they sold the truck to you. Check with the last owner.

No the truck is bone stock and has been that way I work with the guy, so that is not it. Anyone else?

Make sure the bulbs aren't burned out 1st. Then check the fuses...

Both check out fine

You may be having a relay problem. Check under the hood in your fuse box. There are relays in there as well. You may have a bad relay for your headlights.

good luck

Anymore ideas?

I had weird problems like that. The dealership replaced the BCM and that took care of it. I'm not sure how you could test that on your own though.
