I have a 2002 Subaru Forester S. Headlights won’t come on with switch, nor will any interior lights that would normally come on with headlight switch. Other lights/displays work fine.  
  
  
  
 Problem started intermittently…lights would come on after 20 minutes of driving, but now lights seem to be staying off.  
  
  
  
 Things I’ve done already:  
  
 -replaced headlight switch  
  
 -checked all fuses  
  
 -checked headlight, fog light, and tail/illumination relays…all seem to be working  
  
  
  
 Anyone have any thoughts?  
  
  
  
 Thanks!
