Recently the low beams quit working.  The high beams will function
properly and the Day-Time-Running-Lamps (DTRL's) work, but when lights
are swithed to turn-on the headlamps the low beams do not turn-on.
Does anyone know the possible cause of this problem.  Thanks

I'm no rocket scientist, but my guess is your low beams are burnt out.

Try replacing them.

The dimmer switch is bad.  I think its at the bottom of the steering column
on yours.  Simple replacement. . .

Generally when the low beams stop working it's because you have been driving
with one for some time...and finally that one burns out as well.

Hey George....My dimmer switch I thought is the "combo" switch on the
steering column, is there another switch at the bottom I don't know
about?  Thx

I'm not real sure.  My last experience was a c3500 from 1981.  When you pull
the multi function switch, it pull a rod inside the column.  It hooks to the
dimmer at the bottom of the column about where the brake pedal is.  One plug
in and 2 screws.  You should be able to see it pretty easy.  I might be
wrong, though.  It sure wouldn't be the first time.

bulbs are new....plus the DRL's require working the low beams to work,
so it would be very odd for the bulbs to be the culprit in the problem
I am having
