for the last two weeks I have not been able to get my headlights on to my 1987 240 dl volvo. I have checked the relay and it sounds and feels good. A good click sounds when you flip the low/high beam switch. the fuses in my car are good, and just to be sure i cleaned them anyway.I bought new bulbs and put them in. when the car is in a accessory mode the light's come on just fine. low/high and stay on. as soon as i turn the engine over it goes out. they will only come on when i hold the switch back to flip between low/and high beams. but again like i said when the car is on accessory mode the light ****/ and light switch to change low/high work fine till i turn over the car engine and it goes out???????
