Default running lights on a 75

I am having a problem with the running lights on my 75.
The fuse is good but none of the lights will work.
Could it be the light switch itself ?
Any other possibilities ?
thanks for the help

Does that include your head lights. It could be a bad headlight switch or a connection at the headlight switch. or at the fuse box or some other place but I would look at the switch first.

Headlights are fine.
I will start with the light switch.
What a pain to get to.
Thanks for the feedback

I found the problem. The NEW headlight switch I installed had a loose terminal connection.
Replaced the switch and everything works. Lesson here was don't ASSUME a new switch is good.
