 |
|
I loaned my 2002 EV to a friend for a night trip and she reported she lost low beams, both sides suddenly. When she toggled to high beams, the light came back, and ten minutes later both low and high were working normally
I have an all data subscription so I traced the current flow and it looks like the supply for the low and high beams splits at the dimmer switch on the wheel
Part is about 100 USD online.
Other possible culprits are the headlight switch and of course, load relays, but I can't see how these could cause partial light failure.
Anyone have experience here?

Update...ordered both the dimmer switch and electrical part of the ignition switch for about 100 USd.
"Bart" (for Big Red Truck) has been very good maintenance wise for 12 years/80000 miles...tires brakes and about 1000 if unscheduled stuff total.

Common issue on Eurovans. Anyone with an original switch should just replace it...$10 part. Failure causes a wide variety of problems.
