Try replacing the bulbs in case you never know. Check the fuses.

Having the same problem. I think my combo switch is messed as it screwed with my rear running lights. Good luck with it, and let us know how it turns out. I am trying a new combo switch, when I can get one.

I checked my voltage at the high beams and got nothing, then messed with stuff under the dash, next time i started the car i noticed they were on flashed em a couple of times and turned the lights on and off. then magically they didn't work. I will be going through the service manual I have in pdf format. If i find something I will post it.

Well your SC is a 99' model. Being a 99', it has daytime running lamps. You might want to take that into account, could be a DRL relay gone bad not sending any voltage to your high beams.

I have been busy with work, so I haven't messed with it yet. But I will this weekend, since I will have a decent amount of time.
