I'm having the exact same problem. Does anyone know what is causing this?
Check the grounding of the bulb. Make sure it was plugged in properly.
You need a turn signal switch, but spray WD 40 up through handle first & work back & forth, sometime's that cleans the contacts !
It is safe to use the bright [highbeam] headlights when there is no oncoming traffic/drivers who could be blinded by the bright light. Also, it is unsafe to use highbeams when there is fog or smoke which would reflect the light back to you, thus reducing the distance which you can see.
the problem is in your high beam switch. there is a short in it and it needs to be replaced
Your highbeam is dead, which means your DRL's cannot funtion. Your DRL's run off of your highbeams at about 1/2 the voltage...
It's most likely that your headlights are just dead. There are separate filaments for your headlight and your highbeam, so odds are both headlight filaments are burned out, but your highbeam filaments (which probably get used less) are still fine. It's not unusual for both headlights to burn out at the same time. Throw in another pair of headlights, it's probably the cheapest thing to rule out and the most likely solution.
On a '93 Ranger there is an independent fuse in the underhood power distribution center just for the highbeams. Check continuity if it is good, you may have 2 other possibilities. Either the highbeam capsule bulbs are burned out or you have a problem with the highbeam multifunction switch. !!
On the turn indicator. Pull the turn indicator toward you until you hear it "click", about 1/4", then release.
There is one fuse for the left highbeam and one for the right. The left fuse was loose.
usually the headlights have a fusible link near the battery but check for power to the highbeam switch and headlight switch first.
Well kinda. The highbeam "flasher" function is connected to the turn signal arm.
Change the headlight it is burned out. It is also possible that the headlight/turn signal switch on the steering column is burned out. If both of your headlights are new and the low beams still do not work, check this switch. (I just replaced mine for $40 Cdn.) Could be a broken wire too. Check under the battery, that's where mine broke off. I am having the same prob. with my 97 sunfire. my daytime running lights do not turn on nomaly and the highbeam indicator is always on. when i turn my highbeams on all the lights go out. if i have my low beams on and i turn my left signal on the indicator light will flash along with my left turn indicator. i am asuming it is a short in the wiring. i will have to check. Make sure that your just not noticing it. It took me awhile to realize that when the car is in drive, the headlights come on automatically. I thought they were broken. Check that before you spend alot of money.
