Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and I am looking forward to all of the info you guys give. My problem is a have a 2002 ram 2500 have high beams, running lights but no low beams. I have replaced bulbs,checked fuses etc. When I pulled off my headlight switch there is a spot for a wiring clip right behind the switch with about 8 wires and right next to it a spot for 2 wires. Now on my truck I do not have the 2 wire harness going to this spot but when I look on a 2001 model it does. First question....am I suppose to have that 2 wire plug in on my truck???? Is that for the low beams or is it different wiring for different years of truck. Or am I missing to check something else???? I checked all grounds but still no low beams. I would reall appreciate any help. I bought this truck a few years ago but have never driven it a night and when I did noticed no low beams. CHEERS JODY

 

are you familiar with a mulitmeter and continuity tests?

 

Electrical is my weakest part, I was thinking hooking up a volt meter to to headlight sockets and turn on the low beam switch and see what happens

 

yep do that... if you dont have power there check your relay and see if its working properly-- if you dont know how just see if theres another in the fuse panel and swap it out- if your low beams come on your know its your relay bad.
Also did you check the fuses by looking at them or by a testing them?

 

Checked power to low beams, nothing I have replaced the fuse but where would the relay be and what would it be call? Thanks again for your help this thing is driving me crazy. CHEERS JODY

 

If you do happen to check the voltage at the headlight bulb plug, please post what it is...
I've heard that Dodge uses a solid state relay - and there could be as much as a volt-and-a-half drop through the semi-conductor leaving at best 12 volts when the engine's running.

 

should be labeled on your fuse panel diagram
