(digital dash) F-LAMP getting tripped when hi beams turned on

So I've just encountered this rather frustrating issue. When I turn my dash on and the message center scans through everything, F-LAMP is fine and dandy until I turn the high beams on (with the lights on) and then I hear the dreaded beep. It doesn't beep with the low beams on or lights off. Side and park lamps have working bulbs. It's not the headlights themselves as I've tested it with two different pairs and have ran into the same issue. Could there be some sort of faulty relay or dead fuse I should be checking? If someone could help me out on this I would greatly appreciate it.

Re: (digital dash) F-LAMP getting tripped when hi beams turned on

No firm answers but,...


Bad circuit / bad connection on/@ the Light Monitoring Module ??

Bad wire or connection on headlight connector or inside harness.



I would only dismiss the lights as a culprit if 2 NEW headlights were installed.



I'm guessing that the wires leading away from the headlights and to the LMM could be probed to see if 1 isn't carrying voltage,...... or to discover if the voltages from the left-to-right headlight are comperable ?

P.S. I'm guessing the problem could be in the cluster's DIC "module" too.
