Diagnostic procedure:
Use a testlight and check for light-on at 9006 lowbeam plug. If testlight lights, bulb is bad. If no light, check fuses in fuse box next to battery. Do you have power to headlight fuses? Through fuses? If no power comes up to fuses, check relays (in same fuse compartment). Does headlight relay engage when headlight switch is turned on? If not, check primary trigger power to relay. Does power exist? If so, relay is faulty. If not, then there is no power coming from headlight switch. Go to switch and check for power in, and power out with switch on. Headlight switch on Contours may ground switch the relay (I can't remember for sure).
