High beams on dim - Bob Lawrence - 11-10-2008 12:13 Hi group, Has anybody had this problem? Turn on headlights and low beams come on ok, but high beams also come on very faintly. So far have had replaced dimmer switch, headlight switch, all 4 headlights but no go. If take the low beams out, the high beam goes off..plug in low beam and high comes back on. This holds true for both sides. Any thoughts? Bob Lawrence 84 PT 36 On the road fulltiming High beams on dim - Bruce Morris - 11-10-2008 12:28 Ground.

Turns out a previous owner had made the headlight mod ok, but swapped wires (high to low) on one side and swapped them wrong on the other side. Also a ground wire wasn't that well grounded. This problem has been on the bird for about 9 years before it got fixed today. Kudos to Ralph for finding this problem. This guy can find ANY electric problem.
