Default 1976 stingray corvette help headlights and window problem please help!

I have been working on my vett. And i have no front headlights I have marker lights and turn signals, also my windows will not roll up?? Both problems happened at the same time I have checked all flashers bought a new head light switch for dash and replaced window relay. Also I can directly hook up the wires on the window realy switch and the windows will go up or down but only on the driver side. Please help??

The power windows have a wire that attaches in your fuse panel that may have come out....and as for you headlights...you need to look at the HIGH beam switch on the floor. It HAS TO WORK to make your headlights work.

Let us know what you find out.

and some of the buzzers wouldn't work after I buy passed the window relay that's what made me take apart the fuse box thinking that it was half burnt but after Taking it apart it seems it's only conectoins Really not a circuit board soo ruled that out I think.
