Lame-O head light question - no worky

[bjowett]

Hey folks, my headlamps refused to turn on last night - no lows, no highs, I do have parking and tail lamps though. Good fuse. Figured it to be the relay... jumpered that and I have lights. Installed a new relay and still no lights... somewhere upstream of whatever triggers the relay I suppose... any idea's? If this has been covered please direct me... Thanks!

I might try starting at the wiring coming from the headlight stalk/switch to see if it is "triggering" the relay. I am guessing, but I would think a ground pulse to trigger the headlight relay? anybody with a FSM that can shed some light on this?

OH MY GAWD.

Not this again. I STILL have a toggle switch across my relay terminals. One year later.

Last mechanic I took it to told me it was the switch. Bought a new one just to humor him, it wasn't the switch. Haven't broken down and taken it to toyota yet, but I think that's what it's going to take in order to get it sorted out.
