LED Headlights: Turning on the fogs turns on the high beams, too!, New behavior, fogs worked normally until LED headlights installed. Options

[orthobiz]

I love my brand new GE Nighthawks. There is no way I could go back to regular headlights. I had a set of sealed beam Hellas.

Last night I turned on the fog lights for the first time and the high beams came on. When I looked at the front of the car, all three were on: the regular lights, high beams AND the fog lights.

Any fix for this? I would like to have the fog lights and the low beams on at the same time without the high beams.

Edit: up until I installed the LED headlights, turning on the fog lights did NOT turn on the high beams. And turning on the high beams turned OFF the fog lights. In other words, normal behavior.

Thanks,

Paul

Have we confirmed the JWest flasher is the problem? Was getting close to ordering these...

NO I am NOT saying that. That module has been awesome for 5+ years. AND when I took it off, I realized I had it hooked up wrong in the first place, which may have been causing part of my problem...so, more work to do! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

I felt removing it was a good idea since it was time to strip down to basic wiring and work back up to the functionality I had and want. I hope to re-install the JWest module, and may buy a new one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

For some reason, I had it hooked up to 12V power on the ground wire (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
It mostly worked! I just never had high beams (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

All this wiring work started because I was installing the GE LED headlights. Got them off Amazon with double coupons (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Try this. On fuse#1 there is 2 white/blue wires (one goes to High beam light the other to the fog light relay) cut these two wires apart find out which one goes to
the High beam light ( apply battery) reconnect this to fuse#1 with a new spare wire.
Connect this wire to terminal #85 on a new relay. The Blue/white wire left over attach to a new relay terminal #30 . Connect terminals #86 and #87a together and run to ground. This fix will supply ground to the fog light relay on when the low beams headlight are on and remove it when the high beams are turn on.

Ok! Thanks for posting the potential fixes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
