Default Headlight fuse

Is there a fuse for the headlights? I couldn't find on in the fuse panel. All the other lights work fine but the headlights won't come on regular or high beams.
Kind of got me stumped. Any help is appreciated.

Couple of things to check; are the front side markler lights working? If they aren't the fuse box connector on the fire wall could be loose or dead. You could also have a broken wire in that harness somewhere Pull the connector out and check for continuity from the plug to the end of the wire connecting to the headlights. Look for cracks in the wire insulation too. :steering:

Yeah the sidemarkers are fine. I was afraid it was going to be a bit more serious then a fuse. I'll have to dig out my multimeter. Thanks

the dimmer switch in the upper left of the dash. the thing you pull on. That's another good possiblility. I like to start at the beginning and move through a troubleshooting process. Headlights to battery.

Oh that switch Makes sense. I'll have to dig out the wiring diagrams along with my tester. Sounds like a weekend project. Oh Well its too cold to drive her anyway.
