My low beam headlights and daytime running lights work, but not the high beams.

Hi,

I looked through the wiring schematic for your vehicle. Based on what I'm seeing, either the high beam bulbs are burned out, there is a wiring issue, a light socket issue, or DRL module has failed.

I attached the schematic below for the lamp circuit and highlighted the wires related to the high beam. What I need you to do is this. Disconnect the light connector on each side. Locate the light green wire one at a time in the connector and check if it has power with the high beam on. Do this and let me know what you find. Also, here is a link you may find helpful:

Also, let me know if the high beam indicator light turns on.

Let me know what you find or if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe

See pic below. Note: I cut the schematic in half to make it readable for you. I did overlap them so you can follow from one to the next.
