hey, this is my first post on this forum because i am very desperate to get this fixed. i have a 97 850 and i can't figure out what's wrong with my front lights. the high beams work, the hazards work, but the low beams and turn signals do not. i just replaced the hazard switch and can't figure it out. maybe its the headlight relay?
UPDATE: i managed to narrow it down to the ignition switch, if you are having similar issues try shaking the keys around in the ignition, and if the lights start working that's your issue.
(SOLVED)front lights (except hazards) not working, 97 850

The hazard switch controls the turn signals.

Do your sidelights or dash lights work at all?

Have you had a chance to measure the voltage at the pins going to the lowbeam headlights to verify that you've got power to the bulbs?
