    Default 2015 RTL Headlights Won't Switch Between Hi-Beam & Low Beam

    Any ideas why I can't change from Hi-Beams to Low-Beams on my headlights?
    It used to make quite a racket when switching but now makes no noise and lights do not change...
    Thanks for any help....

    You might start by checking fuse 5 in the right hand jcase box. The lower, larger fuses.
    It could be loose.

    F-3 now has twin filament, but if yours has the SHUTTER I have a doubt both became STUCK at the same time !!!! so it could be the switch has failed ......it's under warranty .....and Pitbull is just down the road .......Mike

    I checked fuses 5, 6 and 7 on right side fuse box and all were fine.

    I'd say it has the shutter set up as it sounds like a shutter when operated....at least it used to.

    Are you stuck on high beams? Then the shutter is stuck open. Usually one side will go wonky and the other side will still operate normally.

    SpyderAnn, I can't tell if it is high beam or low beam....the high beam low beam indicators work but nothing else changes...

    I did just replace the headlights and fog lights with TricLed LED's.....but I'd think just changing out the bulbs for LED's would not cause this to happen...

    There isn't a 6 or 7
    Take a look on page 153 of your owner's manual
