While driving at night my High beam headlights both went out. I flicked the Hi/Lo beam switch on the steering column and the low beams come on but I can't turn on the High beams. The problem seems to be a bad relay. Anyone know where it is located? Under the hood or under the dash?

The high beam relay is in the underhood fue box and should be marked there is also a possibility it might be the multifunction switch, most of the time it is check it out and let us know

Thank you. I found the relay responsible. When I tap on it the high beams come on and stay on till I switch back to low. How do I remove the relay from the socket? It doesn't seem to want to pull straight out. It is p/n OMRON # 12088567.

Thank you once again. You've been a great help. I pulled that relay and swapped it with an identical one for the low beams and now the low beams don't work but the high beams do. I swapped them back again so at least the low works until I can find a new relay.
