The headlights on my 1996 MX-3 (4 cyl) no longer work. My park lights, tail lgihts, interior lights, radio work fine. A few days before the headlights failed, I heard some unusual clicking from what I believe was under the dash. I have replaced the burnt out 30 amp headlamp fuse (found in engine compartment), but the headlights still do not work. I believe that the headlamp relay needs to be replaced.

My understanding is that the rear defogger uses the same relay, so I was thinking of swapping the two relays to see if a new relay would solve my headlight problem.

Does anybody know where the headlamp relay is located? If under the dash, is it on the driver's side or passenger's side?

Thanks!!

 

Hey do you know if the headlights are burnt, reason im asking is because if they are, you would have to replace both then try them cuz both lights being burnt freaks out the relay for some reason. Here are some pictures that hopefull help.
