Chris,

The X-Relay (load reduction relay) is no longer working.  BTW, you
don't have windsield wipers either.  Two probable component failures
will cause this - the ignition switch or the headlight switch.  Test
both.

And when you replace the defective component, add one of the headlight
relay kits available from our friendly online vendors, or you will be
replacing it again, and again, and again...
