Super 8 150 / 2009 S8-150 high beam cuts out [SOLVED]
« on: December 13, 2015, 08:20:09 PM »
This is a 2009 Super8-150 with just over 10k miles. With the engine on, if I switch from low to high beams, they will come on briefly (a second or so) and then go off (both bulbs). Low beams work fine. If I push the switch down (to flash high beams), same thing happens: they come on for brief flash and then go back to low beam.
So:
- it's not the bulbs (the high beam does come on briefly, and both bulbs behave the same way)
- I don't think it's the switch (the high beam does come on briefly, but no amount of fiddling or vibrating will do anything; if I switch back to low, the low beam works, and then I can switch to high again -- briefly).
Before I tear into the tupperware to get at the controller, I thought I'd check if anyone has suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
