Both Low beam headlights will not come on with the switch pulled . The DRL's do not work either.
Wiggling the connector to the lights on the left side only and pulling and replugging in the bulb to the DRL turned thoes on for both sides for a short while, while trying things to get the low beams on but eventually died out again .
The pull switch for the lights still dims the dash and turns on the interior if turned all the way to the right.
The flasher funtion still works and turns on the high beams but the multifuntion lever won't click to keep the brights on but once in awhile.
Someone mentioned checking the low beam relay... Im not sure if this car has one and if so where it would be located?
also if you leave the pull out light switch out and turn off the key it still dings as if you left the lights on.
Any idea or suggestions? thanks

There is no specific relay for the low or high beams. The output comes directly off the multifunction switch (MFS-Stalk). The circuit to the lamps is fused but you would have no headlights if that was blown. Also, there is a DRL fuse. However, based on your symptoms it sounds like you have a bad MFS switch or wiring between the MFS and ignition switch.
