no headlights

Hey guys, I have no headlights at all. I have side and rear lights etc, but no headlights.

Does anyone have a pic of the fuse panel layout please? All the labels on my fuse panel have worn off and none of the books I have show a decent pic.

Also, is there a fuseable link for the headlights? If so, where is it located?

Thanks...

Try looking at the left front to see if the ground is hooked up at the rad. core holder, Thats if you have power at the head lights,use a tester to check for power at lamp connector

I did some tinkering today with a multimeter and found that I had power at the switch, so that said that the fuseable link at the starter motor was ok. Then I peeked through the hole in the carpet and saw that the plug was on the dimmer switch. By then it was 48 degrees Celcius (about 120 Fahrenheit!!) and I gave up in disgust.

While I was at work, I went through the crappy wiring diagram I have and came to the conlcusion that as I was getting nothing AFTER the dimmer switch, that it must be that. I phoned my son and asked him to pull the carpet back and double check that the plug was on (in case I had been hallucinating in the heat!!). My son said that there was no plug on the switch....

I went and had a look when I got home and the "guts" of the dimmer switch has come out of it and was still plugged into the harness. When I had peeked through the hole in the carpet, it had been sitting on top of the dimmer switch and I didn't look any closer than that. When my son pulled the carpet back, the plug was obviously knocked free!!

I held it together and hey presto - lights again! Now I just have to go into town and hope like hell that all Chevy dimmer switches are the same. There's always Ecklers I spose, or Bubba it and hold it together with a tie wrap.....
