Hey guys just wandering if you guys can help me out with an issue involving my spotties
They worked fine, were hooked up to high beam with a switch also. Everything was good until last night I flicked the switch and the spotties wouldn't turn on, but even worse now my highbeams won't work. Low beam r fine but As soon as I turn highbeam on my lights turn out. Cept my parkers.... Any ideas?

High beam fuse popped/fallen out?
I can't remember if sierras have a separate fuse for low and high.
I would start from there and work back.
Does high beam work with the spotties switched off?
Was high beam working then you switched on thespotties and it went out?
All this will help fault find.

All fuses checked. Even replaced the relay...
And highbeams aren't working even with spotties switched off

does high beam work when you pull the switch back to the passing flasher?
memory high beam under teh dash is red/white, find that going into the dip switch and stick your test light on it to see if the light glows and your spotties come on, might be the switch is gummed up

What part of brissie you in mate?
sounds like the switch is faulty.
try pulling the switch back to the "flash" positon and see if the high beam come on.

How have you set up your spotties? Used a relay and used the factory earth to switch it? I would be thinking it is either a dodgy switch not allowing you to send power to the highbeam circuit or a dodgy earth on the highbeam. Maybe try run another earth?

The switch from low beam to highbeam maybe? The blue light on the dash isn't coming up:/

Seems the switch for the highbeam on my Sierra is stuffed or the relay is cactus
But no idea where the relay is...
Anyone wanna come have a look or have pictures they can show?
Need my spotties for this weekend
