1971 Corvette Headlight Issues
Upon pulling the light switch at the dash, My headlights turn on, but within seconds they turn off and won't come back on again.
Anybody have any insight on this issue? Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

I've been trying to figure out if there was a breaker in the headlight switch. Thank you for confirming.
This car was flooded during a hurricane. All wiring disconnected, dried, and reconnected.

The headlights are stock. Bulbs are new.
The plugs aren't in the best shape but I've inspected them, and they all seem to be making good contact.
The wiring also isn't in the best shape but I don't see any issues that would cause overheating.
The dimmer switch tested good (zero resistance), but I did notice it's hot to the touch.
INST/LPS fuse looks good.
