Hey, im having a problem with my headlight/ running light system? when i turn my ignition key on, my running lights turn on. When i turn down the dimmer switch the running lights turn off, when i turn on the headlights the all the lights work but the headlights turn on and off all the time(thank goodness for foglights) um, i did replace a relay under the dash coult it be that? or a bad headlamp switch? has anybody experienced this before? any input? thanks! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Body Damage is Cool
That indeed is a strange one!

But since these problems started right after you changed the relay under the dash, I'd start there. Double check to insure that you installed the relay correctly, and double check to insure tht you used the correct replacement relay. If you are CERTAIN that both are correct, then I would consider the possibility that you disturbed something under the dash when you were under there changing the relay. You may have broken a connection, or shorted a couple of wires there were worn bare, or something of that sort.
