81 model, new headlight switch, good grounds, all wires where they belong.
ok, After a two day trip through the dash wiring and 4 new light switches I'm out of ideas.
When I installed the last new light switch it worked great, high and low beams for over an hour, I then installed the switch in the dash, every thing is fine, I then started the car,,,,no more high beams, all headlights go out, low beams are fine, Any ideas out there? I'm beat

thanks,

Something must be grounding out when you install the dash. Retrace your steps carefully.

The high and low beams are fed from the same wire out of the HL switch,so if the lows work I doubt the HL switch is at fault. This points first at the dimmer switch.

Turns out not only the headlight switch replacements are pretty iffy on quality but the dimmer switch isn't much better,,,replaced the dimmer again and low and behold I have all lights, including dash,,,,,hope it lasts this time.
