Iam having problems with my headlight on my 95 Pace arrow. The headlight s got stuck in high beams and would not dim. Now the headlights and fog lights will not work at all. I suspect the light switch. ANY HELP.

Well.. for starters you will need either a new headligh dimmer switch or

If your rig has relays (And I suspect it may have them) you might need new headlight relays

The reason I suspect relays starts with the phrase "Now the headlights and fog lights"

You can contact your coach manufacturer to get a wiring diagram for the headlight/foglight system

my 93 Pace arrow had that problem, it was the headlight dimmer switch. I got one at the parts store mine took a 1987 chevrolet truck. I took my old one with me to match it up with one. It worked great on mine

You may just have a bad headlamp. I have come across a few vehicles that automatically switch to high beams if a low beam fails. It's been a while but I am sure this system was common in 80's~90's.

If the dimmer is on the column it might even be an adjustment. Some switches are mounted lower on the column near the ignition switch and are actuated be a small rod. If the screws are loose the switch can move.

The foglamp relay and fuse are located in the black INTELLITEC box inside the front hood - the headlight items are located on the panel beneath the steering column. The problems should be unrelated.

Check your relays. Fixed mine.
