also check the power wire on the harness/plug for the high beam. The wire on my harness was snagged in half and the hb wouldn't work, simply re-crimp the wires to fix.

the reason your high beams dont work and your DRL light is on is because your DRL relay is faulty, some places will fix it for you for cheap and other will insist that you buy a new one,. 150$ or more...

I had this for two and a half years.. there's a circuit board under the dash, behind your steering wheel. One of your relays is probably loose and its feet need to be resoldered.

There's a DIY archive for this somewhere on Acurazine that I went from..

Won't pass inspection w/o high beams, you better get to the bottom of the issue.

the same exact overheating is happening to me, but when mine goes up to high and i acclerate, i hear a whinning noise, as im driving, the temp drops back down to normal and the whinning goes away. i bought prestone anitfreeze collant and prestone raditior flush. gonna flush and fill 2morrow, hopefully that'll do the job. And also my left fan doesnt turn on when i turn off my car, only the right one is on. is there any solution or reason on why this is happening?
