weird headlight prob
hi all,
I have a weird headlight problem. during normal driving, the lights are both lowbeam. when I push the turnsignal lever forward to hold the highbeams on, the drivers side light will turn off, but the pass light will stay on and go to highbeam. when I pull the lever back (like im gunnna flash my highbeams) both lights stay lit, but the drivers side is still lowbeam, while the pass side goes to the proper highbeam.
Thanks in advance.
truck is 1994 F150 2wd 300 I6 E4OD without A?C, if that matters. lemme know if you need to know anymore.
Thanks,
Brian

What do you get when you operate the switch normally? By normal, I mean pull it back till it clicks for lowbeam, and then pull it back till it clicks for highbeam, letting go of the switch each time?
Sounds like the driver's side highbeam filament is out, but I am not sure what it does when it's operated in full time high beam.

in my truck, to click the highbeam on u push forward. i pull it back to hold the highbeams on manually (to be an ********* as i like to say). when the switch is in neutral (lowbeam) both lights are fine. when i push forward, the drivers side light turns off, but the passenger side goes to highbeam like normal. when i pull it back, the drivers side is lit, but on lowbeam, while the passenger side, again, goes to highbeam. hope i answered you question.
I thought it was a filament too, but then i wondered y the drivers light would stay lit normally.
i did burn out a drivers side headlight a couple years ago, not that matters. just exploring all options.

ah ha. yeah i wasnt sure.
Franklin2, to hold the highbeams on (so it clicks and I can let go and still have highbeams) you push the lever forward. I think when I tried to describe this, I messed it up somehow so it was more confusing. lol
atleast its a headlight bulb prob and not a wiring problem.
thanks for the help.
