No high beam on chevrolet cavalier?

Thanks Shep for the reply.

Will attack it in the morning and see if there's a current.

All the best

If this uses a seperate relay for the high beams you could check it there. If there is no input current at the relay it may be a switch problem.

Faulty DRL relay, located in the fuse/relay panel behind the cover on the left side of the instrument panel. This relay puts the high beam filaments in series with one another for Daytime Running mode, and switches them back to parallel-feed for normal high beam usage.

My prime suspect would be the dimmer switch, having encountered the exact same symptoms (minus the "main driving lights" -- do you mean Daytime Running Lights? -- which I didn't have) on three other cars over the years -- low beams behave as usual, high beams give complete darkness -- and always found that to be the culprit.

Dunno how they implemented this in your car, but on my '95 Chevy van, the lever proved to be connected via a long zigzaggy pushrod to a switch that was mounted further down the steering column. The manual suggested assuming the Jacques Cousteau going off the back of the boat position and replacing it from below, but I found removing the instrument cluster to be far easier, on that car.

Does your flash-to-pass feature still work?

Good luck,
