Hi people,
So using LED headlights, haven't had any problems until yesterday. did walk around on my truck and noticed all head lights are on, clicked the hi beam switch and all lights are still on??? No flicker at all, and hi beam icon on dash is on also...
Figuring it is in the switch because my thought is if it was a breaker or relay they simply wouldn't work? Is there any way to test the hi beam switch?

check your circuit breakers, mine would do the same thing when trailer lights shorted out, some kind of safety thing
Dpimpact Thanks this. -
It is simple and basic
Or get a battery switch to kill the hole electical system(reset the am/FM radio channel s every time. -

Did you check all the resettable circuit beakers"round white buttons" down behind clutch pedal?

Take a halogen hi beam,plug it in and see if it comes on very dimly. If so you have a bad ground.

pull the high beam relay(s) out and see if it goes to low beam, if it does I would suspect the signal wire to the turn stalk has an open in it. easy test is to use a test light but hook it up to power and then check the ground side control of the relay (85 or 86 terminal) flick the high beam switch, if it goes off and on it is working correct. if not it is shorted (light stays on) or open (no light at all).

check the pigtail connection to the light assembly.

Changed relays and all seems to working properly now
