I picked up the CRV from a family member in December and all lights were working. Now both hi beams are out as is the blue dash light. I know that the bulbs are fine (I swapped leads from the low beams to test), relays and fuses in the main panel are good, and I checked all the connectors on the light switch and couldn't see any issues.
according to the wiring diagram I found on the Autozone site, the left high beam shares a red/yellow wire with the low beam - I checked to ensure continuity there so I'm relatively confident that the issue is that the red/blue wires that are shared between both high beams and the indicator light have a break somewhere in the circuit. The wiring diagram I have is a little fuzzy, but it looks like there are two red/blue wires from the under-dash fuse/relay box, and one from the headlight switch to the under dash box. To me, the simplest explanation is usually best, so I'm assuming one fault rather than multiples, which indicates a bad switch or a break in the wire between the switch and fuse/relay box. The switch is easy to replace but I hate to throw parts at a problem unless I'm sure, and I haven't managed to find a way to access the wire between the switch and fuse box. Any suggestions?
