Default high beam problem

I have a 1975 and recently the high beams stopped working. I checked the wires going to the switch and it seems like theirs no power coming from any of the three wires. Is their a relay or maybe a fuse for this? If so anyone know where its located? Any help is appreciated
Thanks

If there is "no power flowing", your problem is most likely a break in the 12 vdc power source..either a bad hi-beam switch or a bad wire/connection. If the ground connection/wire were bad, neither the low nor high beam lights would work.

Remember that a 'bad' hi-beam switch might still show continuity with an ohmmeter...but it might NOT pass enough current to light the bulbs.
