So I have an S-10 (01), the daytime running lamps work, but once night comes, the lights dont work, only the brights, I was thinking maybe bulb replacements? Is there any type of sensor that would be involved??If so whats it called and where can I get one. I already checked all fuses in dash and on block, think it could be a relay or something. I really dont want to take it into a shop if I could fix it myself. Lil help please!

is the high beam idiot light on? the blue one not green
when you hit the dimmer / turn signal can you hear the relay clicking??

if both bulbs are out some modles will turn on the high beams for you...check both low beam bulbs...

Any chance you also have a Passlock/Security Light problem that is common to these models. I have that now, and after a dealer supposedly repaired two of my security wires, my lights now go completely out on a whim while I'm driving on windy, dark roads in the rain!

Alright so when I took it to autozone they told me the autolight sensor was receiving a high output? I replaced the sensor and still nothing should I try to replace the both bulbs? Its hard to try and fix them cause the stupid lights wont work until it turns dark. . . .its jacked up!Im about ready to take it to the dealer but dont want to be charged for minor issued?

you dont need to wait till its dark out...pull it into a garage...or put something over the sensor in the passenger grill

yeah, i figured it out finally, somewhere between my fuse box(underhood) and my driverside headlight a wire is grounding out and blowing my headlamp ground relay. i replaced it twice and it fixed the problem both times for a short period.

Sorry about reviving this old thread, but I have the same problem with my 1999. Sometimes at night, only my parking lights will come on, and I have to use the high beams (which blind a lot of people). Where exactly could I find this wire that is grounding out?

Thanks a lot guys!
