all it is a bulb failure. i had the same thing and one of the light bulbs was out. i freaked out when i saw that message also. just a plain bulb change.

RE: head light not working please help asap
well i tried that but still nothing and both of my lights are not working so i ran out of ideas
|
RE: head light not working please help asap
Did you remove and look at the bulbs?
Did you test for power at the Headlight bulb socket? |
RE: head light not working please help asap
well i tried on one but still nothing and i would i check the power going to it??
|
RE: head light not working please help asap
Use a Test light and see if you have power going to any of the wires by the Bulb.
If you have no power then you will need to go further under the Dash and remove panels and inspect things. Check for power first and let me know. |

well this is weird i went to go to work this mornig and my head lights started working agien but then after i got off ten hours lattere i turned on my car and they did not work any ideas now??

RE: head light not working please help asap
You will need to go under the Dash on the drivers side and remove the Lower dash panel.
Then look towards the left you will see a computer like thing with a bunch of wires. You will have to drop it down and inspect the relays. |
RE: head light not working please help asap
well i thought if it were relays once they went out they stayed out
|
RE: head light not working please help asap
The problem is the Fuse box overheats and the connection gets burnt.
Then sometimes it will make a connection and other times it won't. |
RE: head light not working please help asap
so will the relay fix that or what do i need to do?? and how much are new relays?
|
RE: head light not working please help asap
Most of the time if it isn't that bad you can clean it up really good and tighten the connections some and it will work good again.
Not sure how much the relay is but if the box side is really bad then look out some big $$$$ The box side is actually the CEM the Main computer of the car. |
RE: head light not working please help asap
so how do i get into the box to check it?
|
RE: head light not working please help asap
Remove the lower dash panel on the drivers side.Then look towards the left side by the side of the body.You will see the box with relays you will have to reach up and feel for a tab to unlock it. Then tilt it to remove it from the bottom you should see the groves it sits in then you will be able to see it closely.
Check out link for pictures of what it looks like and is located only. That link is to stop a bulb failure with a HID upgrade. Then look and see what it looks like and if it is burn't for sure. http://www.xenonvalot.com/xenonfixvolvo.html |

RE: head light not working please help asap
Do you think it could be a software issue? I know when the software went "weird" in my car, I had a lot of very odd things begin to happen.
