If you pull the headlamp fuse, do they remain on? If not, either the switch or a open switch being grounded. Perhaps pinched during installation.


If not, remove the headlamp fuse and then, begin removing fuses until you identify the circuit and trace to the cross-short.

Ok thought problem was fixed so now the low beams don't work at all but the high beams do work.
