my headlights are always on automatically. I got into my car and they were not on. I turned them on with the switch and nothing. high beams lights work fine. I have read some forums on the subjest and many have lead me to believe it was the orange relay under the hood. Is there something else it could be?

Hello and thanks for donating


It is possible that the low beam relay (the one you speak of) has failed. Other possibilities as to why the low beams do not work but high beams do would be faulty wiring to the headlamp switch, burnt fuse or faulty headlamp switch.
