I woke up extra early to get the week started, but the lights on 86 240 DL sedan did work.

After consulting with you fellas it turns out that I have a bad connection on the relay to the left of the brake pedal. I took the relay out and sprayed some electrical contact cleaner and things are back to normal.

One of the wires is fried, part of the plastic has melted. This must be what caused the connection to fail. I know the previous owner had some troubles with the right headlight and it was fixed. The wire must have been fried at this time. I will need to replace the plastic connector in the future.

Btw, there is another big relay right next to small relay I removed, what is this one for? I don't think it's the fuel pump relay, since that should be on the otherside. What are relays for anyway?
