Default Light switch

Hi i have a s2 and i have a small problem when you switch the headlight switch to sidelights its fine but when you switch it on to the main lights the lights turn off but after playing around with it they turn on have tried a new column stalk but still the same and does it mostly when you get in the car in the morning could it be a possible relay problem

I had the same problem too. It was a relay problem on my car. Try to wiggle the relay if they don't come on and see what happens.

Had this on mine and it was the contact for the relays in the fusebox. I just disconected the battery and used a mini screwdriver to bend the terminals to give a better contact.

Hasn't given me another problem in about 5 years
