Hello all,

I have a lame problem with my car, the upper beams are not working, but the lower beams + position lamps are working without problems.
Until now i thought "who cares" but the other day i almost crashed with a moose while driving at night so LOL, i thought it'd be the time to fix that damn thing.

Issues: Upper beams not working (blue indicator on dashboard doesnt turn on) + button to wash headlights not working either

Tried as far as now: Checked fuses, Relays, Changed the switch (the one on the steering wheel - damn mitsubishi got me to change it even if that was not the problem!) and of course, even checked the bulbs themselve.

I even went to the car dealer and after they got me to change the switch they have no idea where the problem is, and im not willing to pay them for wasting a lot of time on thinking about the solution for a problem they dont even know how to fix :'(

Please help!

i would check to see if you have ground at the bulbs or even power and just start tracing all the wires.

Just to add on what jimmy said, maybe get your self a test light and trace all the wires and test for power at certain points like at the fuses and the relays. If you have access to a multimeter that's a good tool too.

there may be a short somewhere. but I'm just guessing.
