The relay has one hot wire in and two "output" wires: one for highs and one for lows. Since you have low beams we already know that you have power getting into the relay and back out the low output wire. Even if the high beam fuses were both blown the relay should click if you ground its control terminal with the dimmer switch wire disconnected. If it does not click, then you need a new dimmer switch. They should be easy to come by; I have several here. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
