I'm trying to get my '91 plow truck ready to go on the road, and now that I need them the headlights and taillights have stopped working. They were working last winter when I was plowing.
Here's what I know:
Bulbs are good.
I think all the fuses are good - at least all the ones I've tested.
I was able to get the headlight switch out of the dash, and I can see that it and its connector have been replaced fairly recently. No signs of heating or anything.
Turn signals work, dash lights work, brake lights work, even the marker lights on top of the cab work. Headlights and tail lights don't.
I tried switching the dimmer switch, that doesn't make any difference.
Specific questions:
1) What is the pinout of the headlight switch connector, as we look at the backside of it? I want to try back probing it.
2) Is fuse #11, 15A, the one that sends power to the headlight switch? That's what the fuse panel layout in the truck says.That fuse is good.
3) What in the world could cause both the headlights and taillights to go out at once?
4) If there is a fusible link to check, where is it located?
5) What else should I check?
