Subject:Re: Headlight's wont come on (relay bad?)

Danny, it could be the headlight switch or ignition switch as Dennis
says.  I don't think it is a ground issue because the lights will come
on when you pull the high beam lever back and if the ground was bad I
don't think this would happen.  The ignition switch is a cheap thing to
try first.  We sell them for $9 and you can plug it into the wiring
harness without actually replacing it to see if it fixes the problem.
If it does then you can properly install it, if not you have a spare and
can buy the more expensive headlight switch and know that is the problem
for sure.  We have both of these parts in stock.  Please let me know if
we can help you further.

> Does anyone have a PDF file they could send me of the Bentley Vanagon manual? I need to know which relay is the hi beam low beam relay. My lights wont come on unless you hold up the dimmer switch. And the relay does not click. But when I pull up on the turn signal switch the high beam light on the dash comes on and so do the lights but as soon as I let go they go back off. Any help thanks........
