No lights!!

Can someone please help! I need to know the reason why i have know lights? Is it the pull out light switch or the steering column? The reason why i say the steering column is all the other lights work except the low & high beams and also the fog lights?

You're going to have to give us some more information. What happens when you pull out the ****, etc. Do your turn signals work? First guess is that it is the headlight relay if your Z has one.

O.K WHEN I GO TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS ALL THE LIGHTS WORK EXCEPT THE HEADLIGHTS! (FOG LIGHTS, LOW AND HIGH BEAMS)THE ONLY LIGHTS THAT DO WORK ARE BACK LIGHTS, SIDE MARKERS ETC. AND WHEN I WENT TO TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS TO SEE IF THEY WORK, THERE WAS KNOW CLICKING NOSIE FROM THE HANDLE, SO THATS WHY I THINK ITS THE HIGH BEAM SWITCH!???
SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS

Does the little "Blue" high beam light come. There is a switch inside the column that acutally controls the lights not the stalk itself. That would keep you lights from working at all though I don't believe.

It is inside the steering column, but I would check the relay first. I have a TA so I'm not familiar with your setup. My headlight relay is near the battery. Check that first. Also, check all your fuses.

My 87 T/A had a really loose steering wheel.. then the headlights would blink off and on... the highbeams were stuck on... everythig was going wroung w/my lights. I had a new Blinker,high beam etc switch put in.. they are like 20 bucks and everything works good now! so you might want a new switch!
