    Ok I'm in a 06 Pontiac Grand Prix base v6 3.8
    so about two years ago my lo beams went out I troubleshot it and replaced relay #35
    bam they worked again , so about anthor year went by and it went out again so I replaced it chalking it up to a cheap non ome part so then everything was fine until I started noticing my low beams being very faint but then come back bright , then one afternoon I'm working on my vapor return solinode and my neighbor said hey yor light are on I'm like wtf so I play with the combo switch nothing so then I just disconnected battery to finsh what I was doing so I finished plug battery back in and lights came back on so I'm smelling this awful smell of plastic burning I open the underhood electrical box and damn rely number 35 and 36 blew up and melted the connection closed essential by passing the relay . And keeping the lights on so I bought a new electrical box , but the problem is still there the lo beams don't even come on at all now unless I play with switching the relays around and I can get them to come on but not shut off I hve googled this issue and it seems it's that there are other ppl out there with this issue on Buick lacriss , I haven't doin. A answer except changing the relay out but I'm done with that because it's not the relay causing the problem any help with this solution I would be very great full . If some one could maybe show me how to read the lo beam circuit diagram I could trace it out to maybe find a Burt wire grounding issue something anything thnx

    Ok so after playing with it I can get them to turn on by jogging the relay #35 around but once on they do not shut off even with car off and key out of ignition but as soon as I start the car back up the lights turn off and won't turn on again untill I jogg the relay again so weird could this be a wiring problem grounding issue because it's not the relay itself because I can swap it out for the ignition relay and it works fine I really don't want to drive around with my hi beams on
