Headlight problems on a Volvo v40

Hi everyone, I have a 2003 Volvo V40 with a petrol engine and 251,000 km on the odometer. I'm experiencing problems with the lights, specifically that the low beams don't turn on, regardless of the light switch position. The bulbs have been checked and are fine. Has anyone experienced anything similar or have suggestions as to what might be wrong?

Check the fuses related to the low beam lights in the fuse box. A blown fuse could be the cause of the issue. Let us know if this resolves the problem or if you need further assistance.

The fuses are fine, and the battery has power so the engine can start. But my multimeter is on loan, so my own troubleshooting is currently limited.

Try checking the headlight relay, as it could be faulty and preventing the low beams from turning on. You can swap it with a similar relay in the fuse box to see if that resolves the issue. If the problem persists, let us know for further guidance.
