or my interier lights.. My Blinkers work though.. All my fuses are fine, I was thinking a relay maybe might have blown?

Or are there fuses that I haven't found yet? LOL (and yes I checked the ones under the hood)
 
Update :

All relays are fine, all fuses are fine. It was suggest it could be the switch on the steeringwheel. I hold down the highbeam and they come on, but don't stay on if I release it..

Should I overnight a new switch?

Please help, and thanks in advanced.
 
Check your manual for the wire colors (don't have mine handy), turn the switch on and check if there is power coming from the switch to the relay.

Or if you don't have a meter place a jumper wire between the supply voltage and the wire going to the relay. If the lights come on you know the switch is bad.
 
No - the relay is turned on by providing a ground to the smallest red wire on the relay (pin 3). The other 2 larger red wires on the relay are power and the red/blue goes to the headlights. The smallest red wire at the 6 pin steering wheel headlight switch connector (pin 2) [it also goes to the 10 pin steering wheel headlight switch connector (pin 6)] is the one that goes to the relay and can be grounded for testing. It does sound like it is the switch however.
