Got some weird stuff goin on.

ok, low beams work fine, but when i toggle my brights nothing happens. they dont turn on, they dont flicker, nothing happens. my lowbeams turn off and im left in the dark. could it just be the bulbs? im really not that good with wiring so help me out here.

(and im not sure if this is a electrical issue but..) The drivers side seat has a electric motor under it,for seat adjustment, which of COURSE dosent work..so im a little cramped right now. if i get much taller im not going to be able to drive it . So im not sure whats wrong with that..maybe fuse? or it could just be worn out.

ok when you go to flip on the brights does it click or make some kinda noise so you know its kicked on the brights if not you probably have a problem in your column.... i had this same issue awhile back and a piece was worn out

Re: Got some weird stuff goin on.

make sure both of your bulbs are not burned out... that woulda been the first thing to check... get a test light make sure you have power going to them...
also for highbeams i believe its a rod that runs on top of the column that will go into a box *if i remember right i may be thinking wrong but check up above the column make sure its all working right
