Default Need help!!!!

I've been searching for the last few days and can't find a solution to my problem.

My lowbeams will only turn on when i pull on the high beam switch but won't turn on normally. The fuses and relay are fine, my wire harness was a little chewed up so i re-did the wires that were damage but still my lowbeams won't turn on...

what else can be the problem???

If everything else checks out, I was look into checking the actual switch itself. Tho I have never heard of one on here going bad...

Check and recheck the wiring. It could've gotten pulled so the problem is not just where you redid it.

Not sure if your SC400 would be the same as my JDM Soarer TT but if it is you could try changing out the headlamp relay in the dome fusebox under the hood by the battery.
