Nice diagnosis & repair Tim. 2005-06 still had the replaceable high & low beam relays and that PCB design started in 2007 and on. The PCB design makes me wonder what they were thinking but it's only going to get worse the more integrated the electronics become to reduce weight & space. Costs are getting crazy and a simple relay replacement costs about $300 now to replace the fuse block. The 2016 Ford tail light lens will cost @$800 now b/c it has the camera as part of the tail light assembly and the only way to get the lens is buy the assembly...lots of temp repairs with clear plastic tape, superglue or plastic stitch repairs unless your down south and then out comes the good ole reliable duct tape :O

Het Tim, I have been looking all over the internet for a possible solution to an issue I have, maybe you can help. 2012 GMC Sierra, high beams got weaker, not dim but finally quit working. Blue light on dash comes on but the lights don't work. I am afraid it may be a bad switch on the column. I flipped relays, the fuses go left versus right, not upper versus bottom. What do you think?

I gave up after finding nothing anywhere on the Internet, then today I punch it into the search on KZbin and presto... I think I can bypass the tests since the fog lights still work as they should, and go straight to replacing the fuse block. Any information I should know about ordering the right block?

It seems it started right after a heavy storm we had a couple days ago, so I'm thinking that might have something to do with it? Any insight on this would be appreciated, thanks!!

Nope, still doing it as far as I know, and I think it may be timing itself out after flickering for a certain period of time. I'll go back out to my truck the next day and it won't be doing it, and doesn't seem to be running the battery down as far as I know, so not even sure if that flicker is enough to draw & weaken the battery any. I thought it might be the dimmer-switch, as I sat in it one day and waited for it to start, then I would play with the dimmer-switch & it seemed to affect it, so I think it might be related. Pulled both the fuse AND the relay for the high-beams & it still does it, so it's def something behind the dash (instrument-cluster, body-module or dimmer-switch). Doesn't seem to be related to humid/rainy-weather either at this point, does it in dry-weather too. As long as the lights don't start coming on I think I'll be okay, but my main concern was causing a low-draw and eventually wearing the battery-down prematurely. How long has yours been doing it, and how bad is it? Is it killing the battery?

Hi Car Doctor, I have a 2006 Chevy C3500 4x4 w/6.0 and I've replace all lights with LED and the O.E.M Flasher unit#10383321 for a Novita#LM487(which state is for LED Lighting) well this fixed the speed that the flasher unit responds, its no longer a rapid succession but I still have no flasher or turn signal when I turn the Headlamps to High Beams? Just as an FYI I also installed a Diode to go to the clearance lights to the High Beams (Like the Internet showed for all lights on when on High Beam). Can you tell me or direct me what is the source of my problem as to why I do not have turn signal or flasher when I turn Headlamps on? Please let me know what I owe you for this info. I don't expect it for nothing. Thanks Mark

The problem is probably the same thing he demonstrates in the video. My Avalanche started with intermittent high beams, then one day they got stuck on. I yanked the fuses for both high beams so my battery didn't go dead. I haven't replaced the underhood fuse module yet but I'm 99.99999% sure that's what the problem is. The telltale sign is that the stalk switch is doing what it should - high beam indicator goes on and off as it should, fog lights get canceled as they should...has to be the PCB on the fuse panel.

I have a chevy cargo van and this happened the lights would stay on and the battery would die in less than 20 minutes then they went off after disconnecting the battery everytime I parked them the lights would not turn on I changed the fuses I was told it was the light relay but in the fuse box does not mention a relay for it auto zone o Reilly could not find it wtf can I do other than take it to a chevy dealer.

When I turn on my high beams the instrument Gage says it's on but the low beams just stay on instead.

ashtonzero my problem was I ordered all 4 headlight pig tails and soldered them in and still didn’t have brights..I also replaced the low beam bulbs..the high beam bulbs looked fine and were not burnt out..I almost thought it was fuse box and what I did was tapped on the high beam bulb housing and sure enough I had brights so I replaced the bulbs and everything worked

Jim, the BCM ( body control module) for my monte is $300 + $100 to program it; no wreaking yard part will work, for they are programmed to the auto they were installed in. These manufactures / engineers have bent the consumers over, supply another 75 monte, no problems with any electrical.

$218 because the headlamp relay is non-serviceable. It shouldn't cost this much to fix this issue. To me, it seems almost criminal to have to change out the entire block because of one bad relay. I have a '14 Silverado with this issue. I've had 4 previous Chevy trucks and every one had electrical issues. I hate to say it, but, Ford is looking good to me lately.

Good idea. I honestly didn't even think of that but surely a great option. I would have had to spend more labor time figuring that out and installing the fix then it probably cost for the part since im a little slow on the electrical engineering side of the curve.

Dont manufacturers do some silly stuff, "No lets not fit an external relay.", oh brother, give them a brain lol. If you can fix the internal relay or bring the wires outside the box, that could be a usable "test" fusebox for other vehicles :-). The audio seemed overloud on this video, just thought you may want to know.

The engineers are smart. Their managers asked them to design in ways to insure the money would continue to flow in from replacement parts sales long after the vehicle warranty expired. So they gave them this! Super smart. hahahaIM working out the audio stuff. New wireless mic system and didn't know how to adjust. Thanks for letting me know.

I dont know about you, but i just see a waste of materials, when they pull silly tricks like that fusebox. But being brought up in a poor family makes you appreciate things more, ive had to repair everything myself because of the cost. But i see that as a positive, i learnt how to repair, thats a skill that a lot of younger people dont have, and thats a shame. Sorry im yapping :-(, but you know where im coming from :-)
