    No one knows how to fix this problem

    When I was trouble shooting the non-functioning headlight on my wife's XS, I had read about the relay that switches with the ignition and was ready to start cutting and all that. But when I looked at the schematic I saw this random diode in like. I unwrapped the harness and found this lonely...
