93 300D no headlights

I have a 92 300D and the headlights are not working, also the high beam light is on now when you turn light switch on. I checked the fuses, where is the relay at? If you have any other Ideas please let me know. Thankyou.

Really? Would that explain the no headlights too?

Well, it would be nice to know if that is why the high beam indicator is on, is why I asked.

Even with it off the high beam light in the dash is on.

Looking at the diagram, it would seem like it would have to be the combination switch itself.

Fuses involved are 8, 13, 14, 15, 16. After that the signal goes through the exterior light monitor N7. But the signal to the high beam indicator is direct, does not go through N7. So if the high beam indicator is staying on, the combination switch would be more suspect to me than N7.

N7 is located in the back area of the fusebox, Position "K" they call it which I think is closest to the drivers side fender. You could try pulling it and seeing if the dash light goes off but I think you find it won't. I could give you some socket assignments if you want to try jumpering some sockets as a test.

Sorry about being so vague to start with, just needed some basic info, hate jumping to conclusions on what's going on.

No problem, been there too. Let me know how you are making out. Never hurts of course to check the fuses but the high beam indicator on all the time is goofy. Could also be a problem under the fuses with one of the bus strips, but certainly sounds like some odd combination switch problem.
