Low beams work, but when I pull for high beams lights go out completely. Checked fuses, replaced multi-function switch, checked relays. Checked bulbs, still no high beams, any suggestions.

Do you have daytime running light? If yes, check operation of stop lights.

How did you check the high beam relay?

I checked the relay by swapping with a known good one. Still, no luck.

Do you? Wiring diagrams are more complicated with them.

As you have replaced the high beam relay, and checked fuses #4 and #5 (inside the engine compartment), checked the operation of the stop light, the next in line is the multifunction switch.
