No high beams but bulbs are ok




After a few hours of driving with the low beams on my high beams on both sides stop working. When I stop and turn all lights off for a few minutes the high beams will work again for a few hours. Is there a relay that could be overheating?
I'm not sure on your truck but mine has relays. If you do have a relay getting hot then you need to check all your wiring from the headlights back. Check the switch also.
there are so many things that can cause rough idle, can you give more information? did the car recently overheat? is there any fluids leaking on the engine? are you getting any smoke or steam from the exhaust? when checking for steam, remember to wait until the engine has run for awhile as condensation can build up in your exhaust during the night. if you cannot tell if it is smoke or steam, hold a blank sheet of paper behind the tail pipe, if it is oil smoke, then oil dots will show up on the paper.

some things you can do and check;
check the spark plug wires, make sure they are tightly connected and not chaffed, broken or burnt.
check your pcv valve for excessive oil or clogging, (it will be in a rubber housing or hose leading from your valve cover to your throttle body/carburetor)
i don't know the engine setup in that model, but if you have a distributor cap, check it for cracks and wear, also check the rotary cap.
check all rubber vacuum hoses on the engine for cracking.
if you can afford it, change the spark plugs, plug wires, rotor and rotary cap, these parts all need to be changed over time and your car is getting older now. @derek higgs interesting, mine lights up the kitchen like daylight normally! thanks for this, if you go into settings, there’s a setting called backlight which has options on or 1 min; i cahnged mine to 1 min, just nipped downstairs (at 12:02 am) and the kitchen is in darkness! i’m unsure when it went off but if you change the backlight to “on” it will light up all night. peter hi everyone, just to close this topic, i could get a proper power supply and in fact it was the problem..

thaks everyone for your time and help ! If the security light is blinking it will not start. The security system needs to be reset. You will have to have a fully charged battery to reset the system. With a full charged battery turn the ignition forward until the warning lights come on and leave the key in the on position for 15min. Turn key off and wait 10sec. then try and start.You may have to perform this procedure a couple of times, however, it is usually successful the first try. The reduced power light can be set by a low voltage/poor charge battery the grease that is their may be thick. get your hair dryer out and warm the total parts that rises and falls when you move your lever.  

continue to move the lever while you're heating the parts. you should notice a big change. try to clean off any old grease. after you do this use some good synthetic oil on the moving parts. problem is a bad capacitor on the power board. caution if repairing yourself as capacitors in tv's hold a charge long after set is powered off and can be lethal. 
  
 when looking at your power board for a bad cap look at the top of the capacitors. a bad cap will have a noticable "bulging" on the top of it compared to others. be sure to note polarity of capacitor (will have a "-" on one side indicating negative. to fix on/off issue simply unsoldered bad capacitor and solder in a new one with same voltage and capacitance rating being sure the new capacitor is oriented the same as the old one was before it was removed. Here are a few things to try to help you diagnois your problem.  

1.Check for corrosion on battery terminals and the fuses.   

  

2.Fuses are good - Did you check the fuse on the top of the solenoid?   

  

3. Take a screwdriver and jump the solenoid wires to start the engine. If it starts, then your starter is good. (could be a bad solenoid - but lets check some wires first)  

 Your solenoid operates when you hit the start button.  

 Your start button won't work until you turn the on/off switch on.  

 Your on/off switch only has power when you turn the key on.  

4 Use a test light to test the following:  

 Right Handlebar switch house - Test to see if you have power to on/off switch - Turn your ignition key on & off to see the testlight come on - if light comes on that means your igntion switch is good. If no light, the problem is in the igntion switch. or the main fuse to the igntion switch is bad.  

  

 If the light came on then you have power to one side of the on /off switch - test the on /off switch by turning it on and off. When switched to on you should have power to the other side of the on/off switch which is sending power to the rest of the bike which includes your starter button.  

 Test your start button with the test light by putting the test light on the solenoid - Turn key on - turn on/off switch on - push start button and see if the test light lights up. If the test light lights up that means that your solenoid fuse may be bad. It is located right on the top of the solenoid. If the fuse is good then that means your solenoid is bad. Replace it with a new one.  

 If the Test light did not come on then your starter button is not making contact and needs fixed or replaced.  

  

So follow the power with the test light until through each component until you come to the faulty one.  

  

NOTE: If its a blown fuse, check your wiring. You'll have to find out why the fuse blew and fix it or your fuse will just blow again. Could be a short somewhere, installing a battery wrong will blow fuses. My Bose wave radio (w/cd ) was purchased in 1999, it was working fine untill it quit. Power is gone. What could be the cause and how could i fix it or can it still be fixed? it is wonderful that you have been able to get past the drugs & each day forward will help your system rebuild. some tissues that are irritated or injured by the exposure will repair over weeks, months & years but some effects are lasting. the central nervous system, nerves & heart muscle have little ability to repair if affected. see more... could be that the nails used to anchor the ceiling product or the nails in the crossbeams are rusting. the humidity is causing the rust to leach into the ceiling product. since you say they are in a line, this makes sense.

the only thing you can do is to prime over them and repaint.
