just bought a 2001 dodge ram sport 1500, is a true sport, with 30,000 miles on it. the problem is (or atleast for me) the when you turn the headlight on, you are on the high beam setting . blue indicator is on in dash, when I flip the dimmer switch it will NOT go in low beam , also ALL four bulbs are on (shouldn't the high bulbs be on only????)!!!!! thought is was the dimmer/wiper switch (or as the dealer calls it a multi purpose lever) bought a new one & installed it. no luck,....it is still "locked" on "hi", with all four bulbs on, checked relay under hood which is for the quad headlights, it was fine. seem to me that the harness is fine, unaltered.. I think. this is the weird part, if I open the hood & unplug both the high beam headlights at the bulb, the dimmer switch works correctly, you can flip it into low beam & the fog light come on, flip it again into high & the foglights go out, but the low beams are staying on???? shouldn't they have went out also??? asked the guy I bought it from , & he said that the headlights always stayed on high beam since he bought it (second owner). has anyone heard of this???I am guessing the original owner wired it to have all 4 lights stay on. Is this a common mod trick??? if so, where is the mod usally done???, so i can undo it. I want to be able to flip into "low" beams when needed. ????
if this is not mod, what kind a wiring or part could be bad???? could someone help me out? the dealer said then would need it for 8 hr. minimum to find the problem @ $125.00 an hour, i would rather to fix it myself
