Hello everyone, one of my high beams doesn't work anymore. The other one is fine! Changed both bulbs today! Checked all the fuses as well. Still not working.
Is there a relay for the high beams? If yes where can find it?
It's so annoying

thanks in advance

Either under the hood or under the dash

i would look at the socket for the headlights. if it looks burnt up change it. other times the wire into the socket is loose and broken. wiggle it around into the socket and see if it works again. if it was a relay then i don't think either one would turn on but i could be wrong on that.

Thank you so far! The fuses under the hood and dash are ok. Socket looks fine too. Wiggling didn't work out.
Any chances that the headlight switch is broken? I did some research and i think there are relays on the 2002 model!?

thanks in advance

Ofc I mean there are no! relays on the 2002 model.

Well it should be a package deal on the brights...I would check to see if there is voltage at the socket when the high beams are on...I'm betting you have a wire short somewhere

Thx so far.

High beams

passenger side: white-red / black = 12V
red / black = 0V
white-red / red = 0V

driver's side: white-red / black = 11,8V
red / black = 0V
white-red / red = 0V

Low beams

passenger side: white-red / black = 0V
red / black = 12V
white-red / red = 0V

driver's side: white-red / black = 0V
red / black = 12V
white-red / red = 11,3V !!!!

I don't get it. Looks like the high beams are fine but one isn't working.
With low beams on I measured 12V from red to red but both are on!

Any ideas?

thanks in advance

It was the drl module! Did some soldering on it. Got my high beam back.

Nice work.didn't know it could go south on an xterra i will hAve to remember just in case . I did the one on my civic, they are known for it .got to love You Tube instructions. Of course if you were in the mood to spend money , could have saved 20 minutes time and spent around $100 instead of $1. I like doing it your way though.
