The headlights are not working. Both the low beam and high beams. Except if you were to "flash" high beams they work. Have changed headlights and checked all 4 fuses (all good) for the headlights.

I am trying to find headlight relays to check if that might be the problem. But I can't find them.

Hi,

The relays are located in the under-hood fuse box. However, you can't find them because they are part of a printed circuit board and are non-serviceable.

I attached a pic below showing the relays. See pic 1 below.

Have you checked the switch itself? I ask because that is the most common cause. If the flash to pass is working, that tells me the relays are okay.

Let me know.
