BobLoblaw Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hey guys, Like many people that own Pathys, only one side of my daytime running lights works. It's annoying, but not a huge deal. The low beams work fine too. It wasn't until recently though, that I discovered that my high-beams only work on one side and when witched on, a 'buzzing' sound comes from behind my stereo/ashtray area. What could be happening here? I'm mostly driving in the city, but when I'm on a dark highway, it's a little disconcerting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
why3zx Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 just do the relay conversion, i know someone will link it here for you, super cheap, easy, and quick.. and its like installing a whole new headlight system on your truck as far as performance is concerned. and it takes the risk out of having all of the headlight current running through your colum switch. whos great engineering idea whas that anyway?

nunya Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Burnt bulb wouldn't cause a buzzing... Swap bulbs from side to side to make sure though that you don't have a bulb issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobLoblaw Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hey guys, I have switched the bulbs and the same thing happens. I seem to be getting less and less consistent operation of both bulbs simultaneously. In other words, just one bulb is working most of the time [Left bulb -daytime lights, right bulb-low beam, right bulb - high beam with buzzing noise coming from the dash sometimes no light come on at all.) Could someone link me to the relay conversion instructions please. I'm fed up with this ****. I've never had a car/truck, no matter how old and beaten, that's headlights didn't work properly.

It ended up being my daytime running light module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj big shoe Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Dunno about the buzzing, but you should check your headlight switch. The contacts in the switch are small, thin metal reeds and over time they get a tiny bit warped or dirty and don't make the contact anymore. They're tricky to clean because they are easily bent but its doable. Once you pop the cover off the switch you'll see how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
