Headlights work, high beams do not
I got a 79 and I was wondering what could be the problem with the high beams. Low beams work fine. I know its not the turn signal switch b/c i just replaced it. I was wondering if there is a fuse or relay dedicated to just the high beams or even the headlights. Any advice will help.
Thanks, Charlie

Have you done a continuity check on the bulb filiments to know that the bulbs are good? As mentioned above, if hi-beam indicator light is ON, then power is getting to the bulbs. In that case, it could be bad bulbs, bad ground for hi-beam lamps, or corroded sockets.

well i replaced the switch, but im still getting the same result. Just out of curiousity, when i switch between the low beams and the high beams, the low beams are supposed to stay on along with the high beams. What does it mean when i switch to high beams and all the headlights go out? All the bulbs are good. And no, the high beam indicator doesn't come on anymore, it used to though.

I'm sure you know what to do next , check the green at the dimmer switch for power.
