Lost High Beams in 2009 Odyssey. High beam indicator comes on, but no high beams
Asked by GuruB5SS6 Dec 11, 2018 at 05:11 PM about the 2009 Honda Odyssey
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
The DRL indicator also comes on (and goes off at times)
I checked the "Headlight High, Left" and right, and DRL fuses.. (all 10A) all seem to be ok
Not sure what else to do. Currently using a flashlight on the dash against the windshield for a high beam..

Your Honda has four fuse boxes. The under the hood fuse box shows fuses #3 and #5 control left, and right high beam headlights. I was hoping to find the headlight relay but it does not list one. If any of your fuse box labels shows a headlight relay, check it out. I seriously doubt both high beams could have failed at the same instant. Very unlikely.

Rephrase: I seriously doubt both high beams (bulbs) could have failed at the same instant.
I also doubt they did. As I said, i checked the fuses for left and right anyway. And the "DRL" one too. Cuz it's def tied to the DRL. Checked that today to confirm, the indeed dont work now as well Other stuff points to the relay itself or the control switch/stick itself on the steering wheel. It's goin to the shop later this morning since I wasnt able to do a simple fuse fix.
Took to shop, turned out both bulbs had holes in them
