I just went out tonight for a drive and the headlights went out when I tried to choose hi beams. I tried to get low beams back on and nothing? Later, I found that if I held the high beam lever back the low beams would stay on...but if I let go....the headlights would go out entirely. I believe I have a bad relay. It is late and I have not looked at the fuses yet ...but I expect to find a goofed up relay. Any one have this happen?

All of my headlights (on) problems have been that thing. My headlights still don't close but at least they pop up and turn on now. |

MikeCool Ok, I replaced my Hi/Low beam relay (the silver one under the dash) tonight. Actually a VW replacement which has the same for connections, plus a separate hot wire. Hooked it all up and it works great. While I had the fuse block out, I pulled the headlight switch. Apparently this was an issue before with the PO as well. He has a wire jumper in there on the headlights switch. I pulled one side of the jumper and tapped it around things... (shhhh!). Lights would flicker, then, all of a sudden the motors jumped to close. I touched that spot again and my headlights closed down. So, new relay and hi/low beams work. Just need to get a new headlight switch and my motors will open AND close the doors. yay! |
