Default No headlights
Friends


My car is a 95 vette. The headlight doors open but no lights. I put
in a known good headlight switch on the dash is and still no
lights. I've checked the fuses and they look good. Am I missing
something here. Is there a relay somewhere? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have no headlights on either. I checked all the small fuses in the fuse box on the passenger side and the fuse box behind the battery.

If you have no low or high beam, check the connector for the dimmer switch..

If you don't get a high beam light in the instrument cluster, it would also indicate a problem with the dimmer switch.. If you do then check the bulbs..
