Question Headlight issue

Hey guys,

Got an issue with my 2000 RS.

Last night I was driving home, and for some reason, my high beams came on and I couldn't turn them off. I got home, turned my lights off, then back on, the high beams went off, then the lights came on as normal all sweet.

I then proceeded to turn my car off, however, I noticed my headlights were still up. So now my headlights won't go up and down (they are stuck up), and I have no high beam or main headlights. The same thing is happening to both lights.

My fog lights still work however.

Now, I am still at work and haven't had time to go home and check anything. Won't be home for another few hours and unfortunately its going to be pitch black.

So after searching through the site it seems it could be a fuse, or my retra relay.

Does the retra relay have anything to do with the lights though? Or is it specifically used for the headlight motor?

Any info on what the cause may be is appreciated guys.

Cheers.

this actually sounds like your headlight switch in the steering console to me. it would account for all of your problems.

I thought the exact same thing!

But i think first i should check the obvious points where it would fail.

I have yet to check it.. hopefully tomorrow.

But i also thought the switch too. I will keep you guys updated.
