Thank you for the reply.
Just a few more questions:
-When the issue happens do the HIGH beam lamps operate normally?
-Also you stated you can remove the h-lp fuses and the bulbs still operate?
The high beams have never failed to work correctly regardless of what the low beams do.
Here's what I did with the fuses:
1. turned low beam headlights on
2. left hand came on; right hand did not
3. pulled fuse for right hand to determine if it has blown - it was OK
4. pulled fuse for left hand to determine if it was blown - it was OK
5. after pulling the left hand fuse, the lamp remained on but not as bright
6. placed right hand fuse in left hand lamp socket - lamp returned to normal
7. placed left hand fuse in right hand lamp socket - lamp still out
8. rechecked high beams - both worked normally.
This problem was first noticed yesterday. From the limited amount of time we've seen this, the low beam operation seems intermittant - you never know what will happen when the low beams are turned on - do you get one; do you get both; do you get neither; does one or both come on or go out when driving? High beams never fail to operate regardless of what the low beams are doing.
I do have a volt meter but may need some additional guidance as to where to test. I'm more of a visual person when it comes to cars.
Thanks for the reply, this will require some in depth electrical diagnostics then when the problem happens to pinpoint the cause. I loaded the needed information to the links below:
