Civic LX High beams not working
Hello, i'm new here, i read a couple of threads, but i couldn't fix my problem.
So, i have an issue with my high beams, are not working all the time, i checked and replaced the switch, checked fusese, checked the drl (found here a topic). The bulbs are good. When high beams are not working i can hear a noise from the right side, inside glove box compartiment, i can't figure exactly from where. I guess this is a common issue and someone can help me with this. I really appreciate any kind of help.

Thanks, found that. I noticed that when are not working from the right side is coming a noise. Could be there a relay, another module? In this moment i doubt it is the drl.

Seems like everyone else says a relay buzzes behind the glovebox when the DRL controller goes bad. Many DRL threads seem to mention the buzz noise anyway.
Fix is usually a DRL controller-- or resolder it.
I'm in the US, we didn't get DRL on 7th gen Civics.

It's consistently the pins for the 2 relays attached to the board that break the solder joints.
I'd just retouch all of them if it were me.
