Headlights - Up but Won't Light
My '87 5spd has a headlight issue. They go up as usual, but won't light up. I just took it out of hibernation after 6-months.
Had pod out to repair ODO gear, but I'm not sure if they worked at all this year. Never drove at night before this happened this year. Could it be a loose wire from pod removal?
Does this sound like a headlight relay issue?

Mine recently did the exact same thing and it turned out to be the headlight relay.

Cleaned relay, re-installed, and still didn't work. Tried several times then the headlights worked fine.
I'm not sure if there is a weak coil in the relay, but for now it works. Thanks for your help.
