Hey guys my mom called me earlier because her dashboard light and headlights and rear lights went out, she couldnt drive home cause of the dark, she has a 78 volvo. I checked all the fuses and they were fine, car starts fine, high beams work, radio works, glove light works, dome light works, emergency/blinkers work, brake lights work. Do you guys have any idea's on what it can be? I wonder if it could be a relays i dunno, is there a way to check if its bad? thanks guys i know its not a honda but i can really use the help

My sister is having problems with the headlights on her Maxima, and I believe it's in the combination switch (the one on the steering column). I'm not sure how to go about diagnosing it though, without poking around with a test light.

Don't the older Volvos use a circuit breaker in conjunction with fuses like BMW's?

hey man,
one or the other , its the light switch or the relay.
My honda light switch went bad on high beams, and so i have no high beams.
