    Low beams don't work

    Keep this short and sweet, TIA.

    Low beams don't work. Swapped out switch and relays with known good parts, nothing. Fuse good. Can run a hot wire to the light and it works (just on all the time obviously). Anybody ever ran into this problem?

      Even if the swapped switch was from another car where it works, as well as mine works in the other car?

        For some reason I glossed right over you having tried a switch. Check for voltage at the relay terminals for the relay coil when headlights are meant to be on. Do you have 12-14vdc at the headlight fuses?
