I need some help. My high beams stopped working last night. I'm using a putco harness and autopals. My low beams work fine, but when I turn on my high beams the blue dash light turns on but my headlights turn off. I disconnected the Putco harness and plugged in my oem lights and high beam worked then.
Here is what I've concluded so far:
the problem is in the harness
all my grounds are good
the bulbs are good
there is no obvious damage in the harness
I don't know where to go from here. Maybe the relays are bad? I've had this setup since December and its never given me problems before. Any advice? Thanks in advance

 

Try swapping the relays around if they are the same amp relay.

If not, try a new relay.

 

I swapped them around and then high Beam only worked. That confirms that one relay is bad. Thanks a lot!

 

I had the same thing happen.

r4136 or r4136p at Advance Auto.

 

What's the difference between the two?

 

1-P

 

That's 1-p. LOL

I was told that the "p" stands for premium. I went with it because it did seem to better built. Thing is it's $2 cheaper than the std one.

 

 

Couldn't pass that up...lol...

 

Thanks Einstein.

 

 

Anytime I can help...

 

BW-4136 relay. Get 2.

 

Are the Putco relays junk? I have one of their kits enroute from Amazon...

 

Not always. I've installed 4 of their harnesses with no issues. But now you know what to get if you have issues.
