My question is, what would make my Headlights not work at all? My car has a weird ticking noise in the dash on the passenger side, sounds like somethings in a fan, but when i turn my lights on it stops? but i dont got any head lights. i got all my marker lights and tail lights. HELP please!? and if i didnt write this properly but you know what im trying to say. please correct me.. im new to this forum and this 94' mx-3 v6 is my first car

There are a couple of relays up in your passenger side kick panel. One is for your daytime running lights (if it's a Canadian car) This is likely what is clicking. The relay probably needs to be replaced, or there's an issue with the wiring.

Thanks alot!!! would you have any idea how much a new relay switch would be?

All depends on the markup where you buy auto parts...

I bought a couple a few months ago for $6-7.

Hello. k well i went and checked out my relays and everything and the all look fine? idunno whats going on.. when it happened i was just driving down the street.. didnt have my lights on or anything.. then all of a sudden i hit a bump and the ticking started.. if that can result in something other then the relay? please help! i need head lights!

The power switch for the headlights is divided in two children, where it connects to the switch, one side of the headlights and everything else. Perhaps the change has gone wrong, or maybe you have recorded fuse wire. You will get a test light and start exploration for power within and outside the headlight switch.

the headlight switch turns on the relay, if thats clicking repeatedly then you need to replace the relay. Its a simple circuit, switch, relay, lights, if the switch works fine then its the relay at fault a bump can make a bad relay worse, as for what davis said I think his english needs some work, but he does have a point that you need to be testing this with a test light or voltmeter to determine the problem, you can not tell a faulty relay simply by looking at it.
