Odd headlight problem

I have dash lights, running lights, but no headlights. Changed all the fuses, still no headlights.

Re: Odd headlight problem

Sounds like the headlight switch is bad or the dimmer/bright switch is bad. Power goes from the headlight switch thru the dimmer switch then to the lights. Either one of those parts are probably bad. I would also make sure that the headlight bulbs are good. Do the brights work?
