xc90 headlight turns off when car started

Post by jaippolito »

its been 0 degrees or less in Maine for last 4 days.

A couple days ago i started xc90 after work and the driver side lowbeam headlight went out. Thought it was bad bulb. Later, I turned car off and then turned key to ON position, headlight works.

But, as soon as I start the car the driver side lowbeam headlight flickers (once car is started) and goes out and stays off. Its been so cold that i haven't done much other than check that the harness to headlight fixture isnt loose.

Does this sound like a relay issue? I can't seem to find info that the headlights have a relay. The fuse for lowbeam headlight is fine (checked it last night).
