Mark, I would not rule out a bad ground. I had a GEO with a bad ground a few winters ago, that exhibited the EXACT behavior that your bus did. I did not enjoy driving with the high-beams on. :-( Clean your ground contacts and you should be fine. High-beams are often on a different circuit from low-beams so you can at least drive home if all else goes kaput. (check the Bentley for your model year) Best regards, Sam |
