Bright lights dont work
Well I am going down my country road last night and flipped the brights on and everything went dark.
The battery light had been flickering and the volt gauge running high when the bat light comes on. Last time that happened just meant the piece of crap NAPA Golds where going bad so I was just waiting for the slow crank, but that has not happend yet. Also kinda wiered.... when the battery light would stay on for a few seconds and the volt gauge would peg the electric windows would not work untill the light went out.
Got home late last night so did not try to search, searched for awhile this morning but couldnt find anything and I gottta go
Any ideas would be great.
thanks all
Joe

Well I found some time to poke around a little bit. I did not see anything obvious, checked the number 16 fuse it was fine. Been rainy here today so will have to find some time to look a little harder.
Too answer some previous questions.... only the high beams are not working. Truck kept running, the running lights stay on the highbeam indicator light on the dash comes on. I just loose all head lights when I switch to high beam, everything else seems to be working fine except the intermitent battery warning light.

No it does not work either, I also noticed that the highbeam indicator on the insturment panel only comes on in the flash to pass and not when I flip to high beam. I have not checked for the leak, hopefully I will get some time tomorrow to look a little closer
thanks for all the advice
