Headlight Issue
Went to drive home last night and noticed that my headlights would not turn on. My brights would not turn on either. If I flash my brights, they will work as long as I am pulling the lever.
All other lights work.
My lights are locked in the up position.
Hopefully somebody knows what is causing this. Thanks

My guess is that you need a NEW Steering Column Multifunction Switch. They are well known to wear out.
Before you spend cash, Check the headlight FUSES and ground points and I would also use a Volt Meter and see if you have the power from the multifunction switch on test points on top of each fuse to chassis ground!
My guess, you will not see power on the fuses because of a bad switch!
See if the parts store has the Multifunction Switch if you need a new one or get it from Gene Culley
Being able to FLASH the lights tells you that the lighting circuit for the high beams works
