Exclamation z31 strange headlight issue

hey there guys, after jump starting my 84 300zx turbo 5spd 137k the headlights will not good off. I replaced the headlight switch on the steering wheel and it still did the same thing. They go off when I open the passengers side door. Ive also noticed that if take the fuses out and put them back in, the headlights will not come on until I turn the switch. I know this is a shot in the dark but I hope someone can help. Thank you! P.S sometimes I hear a relay clicking really fast under hood!

My only suggestion is to check/replace the Uphold relay for the headlights. Its on the passenger side of the car by the battery. The relay is BLACK in color
