Headlight problem....update, fixed......

[55 cadi]

Hello,

My headlights are only working on one beam, can't tell which beam is on, high or low.

What would cause only one to work?

I need to figure out because I need it to work in the next 2 weeks to pass registration inspection.

Thanks
Jason

Check for voltage on the high and low beam connectors, toggle the dimmer switch while checking.

Jason,

Since you do not have the Autronic Eye option the only possibility is a bad foot switch.

The “Light Blue” wire should be connected to the “B” terminal on the foot switch, this is the +12V from the headlight switch. The low beam “tan” would go to terminal 1 while the high beam “light green” would go to terminal 2, this also extends over to the dash High beam indicator.

If your high beam indicator is not lit on the dash board most likely you have the low beams on. 

Good luck..!

The foot switches are notorious for dirty contacts with infrequent use.
Just cycle the switch about 20 to 50 times and it will most likely start working.

Good luck

Found the problem,  a wire came off of the switch.

Found it when I went to replace looked from under car and saw the disconnected wire, hooked it back up and works again.
