Hi
I have posted about this befor but now I have a bit more information. My car is a 1988 740 turbo wagon. The problem I have is that with fuse #5 out I will get a ring (bing bing bing) until I turn the headlight switch to the on position. Now with the #5 fuse in there is no ringing but the headlights are always on, even with the key out and any position of the headlight switch.

I have read some other posts about similar problems and aleekat was kind enough to suggest my headlight relay might be bad. So with this information I checked to see if the relay was contacting. So with fuse #5 installed (headlights always on) I turned the headlight switch back and forth and could feel the headlight relay clicking while doing this. But with fuse #5 out and the ignition turned to the II position I turned the headlight switch back and forth but could feel no clicking on the headlight relay.

Do you think the headlight relay is bad? or is the problem elsewere.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions or insight into this problem,
Benton
