A while back, the low beams quit working on my '98 Odyssey. I checked the obvious -- wiggled the connectors and looked for a blown fuse (I didn't see a separate fuse for high and low beams). Is there anything else I can check before assuming the hi/low switch is broken?
--------------------------------------------- If you've searched this newsgroup, and you're sure the filaments aren't burnt out, it's probably the low cut relay, which is above the gas pedal. Does this Odyssey have Daytime Running Lights? Whole different ball game. 'Curly'
Both filaments wouldn't burn out simultaneously, would they? I'll check the relay first. No; I wish. Thanks!
------------------------------------- No, but if you drove around with one burnt out, you'd certainly notice they were both dead when the second one conked out. I didn't catch on until I pulled up to the garage one night. Read previous posts about the correct to way to remove the lamps from their sockets...so you dont' wreck the connectors. 'Curly'
By "both", I think the OP meant left and right, and not high and low. And yes, both left and right filaments can burn out within a very short period of each other, especially if there is a problem with the voltage regulator. Dan (This account is not used for email.)
