headlight mystery--help 200 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be bthompso on  Sun Jul 7 06:37 CST 2013 [RELATED]

Hi all- (sorry about anonymous post--forgot password--I'm Bthompso)

I've got a headlight problem. I've scoured the past threads about relays, wiring etc. but still have a mystery I'm hoping someone can help me with:

1. With headlight switch in the OFF position, the flasher lever on column will cause high beams to go on and stay on (?!). Clicking them again turns them off.

2. With headlight switch in full ON position, I have no low beam only high beam. Can hear/feel step relay working.

3. I've checked: Main relay--OK; Step relay is swapped from a known working car, so OK. No fuses out...


I'm stumped. If the step relay is clicking happily away, does that prove my switch at the steering column is OK? I've read about bulb failure sensors causing problems, but none of my symptoms seems to resemble what I've read about. Thanks for any helpful insights!
