Update: The problem was solved for about a day and a half by replacing the relay, but now the exactly same problem is occurring. The only difference now is that when I pull the relay from under the dash the headlights still do not work - with this relay pulled it forces the relay for the head lamps (in the frunk) to make the constant grind noise.

I replaced the headlamp relay at $55 with no solution thus far.

Anyone else have any idea? I pulled apart the column and everything seems fine.

Does anyone happen to have a diagram or a link to a diagram for the wiring?



Well here's an update on it:

I believe it is a short, but I'm not sure where. The reason I believe it is a short is that the dash lights go back to normal when both headlamps are unplugged. As soon as I plug in a headlamp and attempt to turn it on the dash lights go out completely and the voltage meter for my battery shows a major draw. Then if I remove the headlamp and turn the switch off and back on (keeping in mind the headlamps are both disconnected again) the dash lights work as normal, and the battery shows no major pull.

So with that in mind, I'm looking for common places for wires to break (I don't know of any), a wiring schematic, or some other type of advice that will help point me in the right direction.
