Headlights, dash lights & front side markers not working
 
All three just stopped working. After they stopped working I did a ground up rebuild on the front end and installed a new front wiring harness so I know it’s not up there, I also put in a new headlight switch, didn’t fix the problem either, checked the wiring plug to the switch and it has power.

Is this a ground problem? The parking and tail lights are part of the switch and they work. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Are you getting power to the switch? Through the switch? To the HL? If not, work backwards.

If the park and tail lights are working it isn't a ground problem.

Yes, the parking and tail lights work. Do you think it could be the printed circuit board?

It's your headlight dimmer switch.

If you have power to the head light switch ( big red wire ) then it is the head light switch that has gone bad.

Well, that worked for the headlights, thank you! Front side markers and dash lights still not working......

Side markers probably need ground. Do they have power to them?

I stand corrected! I waited until it was darker and the dash lights are working and so is one one the side markers, I assume the other has a burned bulb. Thanks for your advice!
