The_aSSet Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 You jumped the wrong fuses probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_aSSet Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Make sure its 85 to 85 and the relay isn't flipped around. The relay should be labeled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linde121 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 ok so i switched around and it worked except only my left high beam did not work. i tryed it a couple times and nothing. now i took the diode out and for some reason the high beam that wouldnt go on now flashes a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitches040 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I agree diodes. Place one diode in the 85 pin on the highbeams and the other part on the 85 pin of the low beams. Its the fuse panel under the hood. I have ran it this way for also over 2 years with no issue. Well over 3 years here with zero problems. I have the diode mod. It's 25 freaking cents, and I've had it for over 2 years now and not one single problem. In every single driving condition. 3+ years ... Absolutely no problems ...

Porno Joe Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I have done the diode method on quite a few trucks, works on all except 1. My 2007 Sierra classic. mod works perfect in the garage, but as soon as you start driving down the road, when you try switching back from highs(all on) to lows, the highs stay on. I can pull over, pop out the diode, and everything will work normally. Anyone ever had this issue before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I have never had that issue. I have had the 4 hi mod for years with no issue other than a HID bulb giving out after 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porno Joe Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'm using a 12 volt 5w diode I got off eBay currently. I started with the RadioShack diode but ordered these when it didn't work. I checked them again this morning going to work. I can start the truck and they work. Soon as I start driving the highs don't turn off. Sometimes if I switch from highs to lows and they don't go out I just leave the headlight switch on lows they may go out they may not.

cb2big4u Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) It really just sounds like the diode to me. Passing power when its not suppose to. If you have it jumped from pin 85 on lows to pin 85 on highs and its the correct way which in guessing it is since it works somewhat then the diode is the only issue there. Hopefully someone can chime in with another solution. I know I'm running the radioshack ones. They say 4007 on them in small print. See if any of your radioshack ones are 4007 because that is the higher power ones. Wouldn't hurt to go spend the 1$ or whatever they are to try it. The ones your using now. What number do they have on them? Sent from Rezound using Tapatalk 2 Edited January 9, 2013 by TampaVmax (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
