No High beams

Hello and thank you for viewing this thread.

I have a 2008 Chevy HHR 2.2 automatic that hasn't had high beams since I bought the car and my wife has said fix it so my response is yes dear.

Here are the things that I have done from reading other threads and need to know if it is a dealer fix or something I can try next.

I have replaced the head lights still no high beams.

I have replaced the main fuse box under the hood still no high beams.

Here is the condition.

Running lights yes.
head lights yes.
pull the multi-switch to you still have head lights, but no addition of the high beams.
push the multi-switch darkness.
blue high beam symbol on the dash lights up.

What do I test/replace next or just bend over for the stealership?

Anything is appreciated. Thank you!

Did you replace the relays?
IF you have fog lights, the highbeams will not function when the fogs are on. It's a law.

There is a link that may be of interest in my sig.
