PROBLEM: Both High and lo Beam on

Hey Guys & Gals,

I am having a problem with my F250 headlights both high and lo beam being on at the same time regardless of high beam switch position. No change whatsoever when trying to switch. Any ideas?

Any modifications to the truck's lighting? Wondering if you have an aftermarket drop in LED kit, aftermarket headlights or something else tapped into the lighting wires. If so, start there which might mean going back to stock lights. If not, I'd guess the switch in the steering column is malfunctioning. Short term, you should be able to pull the high beam fuse so you're only left with low beams.

Need to tell us year, options, trim level and what other things have been done, could be the high beam stock, could be the auto high beams, could be the sensors for high beam behind the windshield top centre, could be a damaged wire.....

If you haven't touched anything, clearly dealer first, especially if you have warrenty.

Well H13 bulbs tend to explode if power is applied to both filaments. So your saying all four lights run low and high at the same time? There is four bulbs in use on these trucks not two.
