Have you checked all of your fuses and relays yet? If not, start there.

There is a fuse panel inside the drivers side door, and also one under the hood which has the relays in it (drivers side...black box). Check all fuses and all relays (not just the ones marked headlights).

yup, just switch the relay with another relay of the same type and see if it fixes it, That's the best way to tell if a relay is bad.
