2002 XLS
Hi there,

I have a 2002 Explorer XLS that occasionally when I am driving my hi-beams will stay on after I shut them off.....(not sure if because I am switching them on and off during night driving)

If I pull over and disconnect my battery (as they stay on when I shut off vehicle) for 5-10 mins, that will work.

Otherwise they stay on....I took to technician and couldn't figure it out...

It has done this maybe 5-6 times in last 5 months.

Anyone else experience this or have any ideas as to how to fix them?

Thanks in advance.

Kris
 






Possibly a bad relay. The relay for the high beams is in the power distribution box located in the engine compartment behind the battery towards the windshield:

According to the owner's manual, the high beam relay is #19:

Maybe you can pick one up for short money at a local parts store. Hope this helps out! :salute:
