High Beams Won't Come On, Headlight Buzzer Sounds when Engine is Running

Lately when I turn on my headlights the buzzer still sounds when the engine is running. Also when I flip my high beam switch the high beams no longer come on and the lights turn off, except for the fog lights. When I flip them back to low beams the lights come on and the fog beams still work. The headlight buzzer sounds the entire time I am driving. When I flip the switch, I hear the clicking sound but the lights simply turn off.
Any advice on what to do? I am not very electrical savy, pictures are a huge help.

Alarming Information

The alarm assembly is activating due to a faulty circuit.

To find out where, pull the
STOP HAZ fuse.

If that silences it replace the fuse, then:

Gain access to the Audio Alarm Assembly.

One at a time disconnect pins B, D, E, G, at the assembly.

When the tone stops you have found the problem circuit.

To gain access to the Audio Alarm Assembly remove the knee bolster.

You’ll find the Audio Alarm Assembly in the ‘Convenience Center’, which is to the right of the steering column.



It sounds like the dimmer switch is not engaging properly due to misalignment.

If you have tilt steering make sure that is operating with no play.

You can adjust the Dimmer by loosening the hardware at the bottom of the column, then slide it into position, tighten it then test with stalk, then readjust as required.


Happy Racing !



Funny Car Fun Facts: Spark plug electrodes are typically consumed during a pass. After half way, the engine is dieseling from compression, plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1400°. The engine must be shut down by cutting off its fuel.
