I had the same symptoms--high beams but no low beams. It turned out that my headlight grounds were corroded, thus the circuit was not sending power out to the headlights. My headlight grounds were attached to the ground cluster closest tothe front of the van behind the fuse box (reach back further and gently pull aside the mess of wires there to make a space to inspect and clean these connections). Once the ground spades were cleaned up, the two wires separated with new female spade connectors, and reattached, the low beams and other lights all worked perfectly |
