recently had a problem with battery light and abs light on dash coming on and going off and the headlights would not switch to high beam, had a battery that was leaking acid, changed battery and checked and cleaned all grounds and connections, no change, changed alternator and dash lights stopped coming on but the highlights still will not switch to high beam, have checked fuses, high beam indicator light comes on but headlights do not switch to high beam

Were the bulbs checked? Dash indicator coming on means the switch is working correctly and is not a fuse problem.

Check the DRL relay 3 and 4.
