Subject:Re: Still no passenger side high beam

Hi Frank,
It just got a little stranger.  Now the drivers side driving light is on all
the time dim on low beam bright on high and on the passenger side it is just
always dim but will now stay on with the high beams on.  I'm also still not
getting the indicator light to work.
   Any one have a guess?
Thanks
Kevin .

side,
    as in either high beam or driving light.  I have redone the grounds and
that
    really helped the low beams.  All the fuses look good all the bulbs work
as
    I have switched the the lights just to test.  Not sure where else to
look
    high beam switch?  Wiring?  Any advice would be great.

      Kevin, are you sure the fuse for that side is good ?  Did you check
the output from the fuse block to the passenger side high beams ?  Follow
the current path and you will eventually find the problem.  It's not any of
the switches or relays if the other side is working.
