Tom,

Check to see if your ignition switch has burned out the "X" output.  This is
a common occurrence (along with the headlight switch burning out) until you
add the headlight relays.

I've changed out my ignition switch, only to have the headlight switch go
out a few weeks later.

Thanks to Simon R. for suggesting the load reduction relay.  Jumping the L/R
output terminals makes everything work - except still no headlights.

At the headlight switch, there is no 'X' voltage with the L/R relay jumped.
I can jump 30 to the outputs and make the lights work.

Since the L/R relay is jumped, it seems that there is a physical disconnect
somewhere, or is there another component to check?

Again, thanks for help.
