Pinpoint Test O: The High Beam Indicator Is Never On

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Use the correct probe adaptor(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adaptor(s) may damage the connector.
  1. O1 VERIFY HIGH BEAM OPERATION 
    • Verify the high beam headlamps operation.
    • Do the high beam headlamps operate correctly? 
    1. YES  : Go to  O2.
    2. NO  : REFER to EXTERIOR LIGHTING article to continue diagnosis of the high beam headlamps.
  2. O2 CHECK CIRCUIT 12 (LG/BK) FOR VOLTAGE 
    • Disconnect: Instrument Cluster C220a
      • NOTE: Headlamps must be on for this test.
    • Place the multifunction switch in the HIGH BEAM position.

    • Measure the voltage between the instrument cluster C220a-2, circuit 12 (LG/BK), harness side and ground.
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : Go to  O3.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. O3 CHECK CIRCUIT 57 (BK) FOR AN OPEN

    • Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster C220a-10, circuit 57 (BK), harness side and ground.
    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. YES  : Go to  O4.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. O4 CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all the instrument cluster connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all the instrument cluster connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to Instrument Cluster (IC) . TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. NO  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
