headlamp relay

[oneelski1]

I have a 1988 ford escort w/1.9 fuel injected. The headlights went out. I have power to all the wires going into the switch. My brother thinks that it is the headlamp relay-the thing that clicks when you turn on the headlights. My problem is that I dont know where the thing is. I believe that there is a fuse attached to that relay switch and it probably blew. Please help. The 8th digit in my vin number is a 9-I think that that is neede if you were to look up the part in a catalog.

I dont believe this escort uses a relay for the headlight circuit
I recommend checking the multifunction switch ( dimmer/turnsignal switch) check for burnt connections at this switch.
