Default 1998 V70 XC Headlights Dead

Hi all,

I discovered the other night that my headlights (low beam) are not working. Had to drive home with the high beam lever pulled back. Checked all associate fuses and not a one is burnt... (Also checked bulbs, of course and they are fine) Any suggestions? Could the "dial" switch be bad?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Liam

Maybe the same problem I had with my 960.

I have heard of a bad relay causing this issue. Check the relay first.

He posted in the link I gave him. Said it was the same problem, switch. Also said that there was a recall on the switch, not sure which car but I'm going to try to check it out.
