Mitsubishi Repair: 94 Mirage Headlamp Relay, salvage yard, highbeams

Question
I have a 94 Mirage ES Coupe with an Auto and the 1.5L motor.  I have no headlights.  However, I do have power to the relay.  If I jump the relay I can make the headlights work.  However, when I jump the relay the lights stay on whether the light switch is off or on.  I have put a new relay in, but it did not fix the problem.  Could it be a bad relay or is it possible the switch is bad.  Any suggestions?  Thanks - Nick

Answer
Nick,
If even the new relay did not fix your problem, then I would guess the problem is in your headlight switch.  You should also test to see if the highbeams are effected as well, if you haven't already.  

A new switch from the dealership will probably run you anywhere from $70-$86.  That's not too bad if you're willing to install it yourself.  Otherwise, you may be able to find a discount on a used switch from a salvage yard or even on ebay.
Good luck!
