Re: No headlights,,,
Are both headlights blown out? You never know.
You should be following wiring from the headlights back to see where to power is first detected. |

Re: No headlights,,,
Check the dimmer switch. Start by messing with that plug down there and see if anything changes. I highly suspect you will find a bad dimmer switch or an issue with the wiring down there.

Re: No headlights,,,
I would also check the dimmer switch. I would then check the headlamp plugs for power using a test light or meter.

Re: No headlights,,,
A test lamp or multimeter is your friend..... but if I had to guess, I'd say the dimmer switch (or its connector).

Re: No headlights,,,
Look at the head lights connectors first. Make sure they haven't come off are broken. If I remember the passenger side feeds off the drivers side. if they are good then check dimmer as mentioned. A test light would be nice to have at least.

Re: No headlights,,,
Most likely the dimmer switch is the culprit when the headlights are the only thing that doesn't work.
