High Beams won't work

The daytime running lights work though.

OK, so a bit of history on this one...Had this problem before and found the solution on this site. It turned out to be a circuit board found under the steering column . It was recommended to replace or look at and redo the solder points. I was prepared to replace but thought, what the heck... give soldering a try. I located the board in a small plastic box under steering column... took it out and hit some of the soldering points that looked weak. Put it back and voila! It worked!

That was about a year or so a go. The problem has resurfaced and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a better fix. Or maybe the name of the part i'm talking about so I can get it replaced (apparently it's a bit pricey for such a small board).

Sorry for being so vague - tried to find the original thread without success.

Thumbs up

Check both , shift steering colum up down then to mid inspection of bulbs and clean ground on fenders usually they effect hid systems. Any other issues that might lead to ing switch turn on off multiple times sometimes a capacitor on draw is needed. Turn all on lock car see if module will work properly and turn off . Hope 2015 isn't still looking for this info. Jump boxes can fry them bad alt or overload

Solder are different did u flux and use rohs or other did you clean circuit , esd can be issues if over flux and not cleaned will liquify if heavy and was unit re sealed oil free ..
