I have replaced the battery with another one from another vehicle we have. It starts up that vehicle ok so I'm sure the battery itself is ok. But I will for sure check the terminals and the wiring by the air filter first thing in the morning. I will be sending u some money through as son as I get a net spend card to do that with. Lol. U r awesome and thank u so much for ur quick response. Wow is all I can say.

The headlights on my 1998 Monte Carlo won't work. I've replaced the bulbs. I'm trying to find the headlight relay but its not located inside the relay boxes under the hood. Where is this? If that doesn't work what other problems can cause this and how do you fix it?

Scan for codes it may be the DRL module as headlights go through that. A pro will need to do it. It cold also be the multi function switch but get it scanned first.

My low beam head lights won't come on. The high beam side works as it should. I can't find a seperate fuse for the low beam headlights. I checked all the fuses and bulbs I could and they are good.

Check for power at the bulb socket and work your way back. Multifunction switch are a common cause.

Its located on the steering colum. It controls the high beams on and off, and you turn signals.
