Wow had something similar happen driving to FLA.-heaadlights and wipers shut off as i was driving through the first blizzard crossing North Carolina. Headlights only worked when i pulled in the highbeam switch-after driving holding in the highbeamm switch the lowbeam seemed to cool off and would work - BIG FUN

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

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........
