    Headlight issue...Low beams inop

    I searched, found some relevant threads but none have lead me to a fix. Heres the deal. Low beams dont work. Marker lights,fogs and turns work. High beams will work, but when switching to the high beams it still doesnt bring the lows on. Tryed switching some relays around and the headlight switch. No power on either side of the low beam fuses. Prior to this happening, my lows would only come on if i moved my switch to a certain position.

    Sounds like the switch is bad, or possibly the wires at the switch? Just my guess

      I thought that also but i swapped the switch out and it didn't change anything...unless that switch is also bad. Which is a possibility.

        sounds like the swithch but check the relay. second one in the fuse box. pull it out and make sure its a 5 prong and not a 4.

          Im pretty sure theres a problem in the circuit board underneath the fuse block. I just have a jumper wire going from the low beam relay (key on power) to the fuse. They now work whenever the key is turned on, so I kind of created DRLs.

            Have you a wiring schematic and traced out the voltage and found where it stops?

              Yes I do have a wiring diagram. This is how I figured out that power was making it through my relay but not from the relay to the fuses. A circuit board takes the power from the relay to the fuses.

                Call your insurance company and tell them your car now has DRL and you want a discount lol

                  You need long pieces of wire to start ringing stuff out.
