..and I have to drive 400 miles for a four day stay out of town with the family.

It's actually my Forester, but I know you all can help if you've seen this. (BTW my SVX is behaving wonderfully, and I MAY have to take the family home in it...all four of us! that's good and bad)

The lighting systems in each car are very similar.

Symptoms: Headlights don't work at all. The 'flash' high beams do, but the 'on' high beams don't. In other words pull back on the stick and the high beams come on, forward and nothing.

The fogs don't work either.

I hear no relay clicks when I move the light switch to on.

It's as if the ignition is off....but, of course, it is not.

Please anybody who may have seen such strange behavior can you help.

Of course I've checked all of the fuses and I've called my trusted dealer and they where clueless to this one.

Any help would be much appreciated.
