Fixed my headlights

[BigCars4Ever]

My Lighting Control Module finally died while driving home from the airport. I ordered new realys from Mouser and $26 later they work again. It's pretty easy to do iif you know how to solder. Anyone local that needs help let me know.

Mine's acting up again, did you buy the direct replacement relay or go with the HD unit?

[fastblackmerc]

I did a preemptive repair before anything happened and did mine with the HD external relay.

[BigCars4Ever]

I just replaced the originals. Seemed too messy to add the external relays. The originals lasted 5 years / 86,000 miles.

Where is the relay? My headlights won't come on every once in a while. Let the car sit and they work. Once they are on, they stay on. I'm thinking it's the relay. Auto parts store lists one for $25. The owners manual doesn't show its location and my repair manual is in storage till I close on my house in two weeks. Any help would me appreciated.

I havent had this problem yet but in lue of future problems is this relay in the LCM?

[BigCars4Ever]

Yes it's soldered on the board.

[RR|Suki]

you only need the one relay. did mine for like $7

[BigCars4Ever]

I figured I had the board out so what the hell. Just as easy to do four as one.

Is there a link or write-up on this procedure? I'd like to save it for future reference.
