Did you replace all 3 relays ??
Did you follow the diagnostics in the link I gave you ??
Did the diagnostics point to the light switch ??

I know this is an old link but didn't want to start another one on the same subject. I got an extra headlight switch and need to bench check it for operation. Can I do an OHM check and what do I need to know if I can, i.e., switch on/off, what terminals to touch probes to, etc... Thanks.
