Headlights don't work

[SDPintheLBC]

Just spent two hours trying to fix my headlights.

I have Jim's schematic.

I do not have power to the headlight breakers.

Breakers are fed by brown wire coming from steering column switch.

No power from brown wire in any key position.

Ft and RR running lights work, all blinkers work, brake lights work.

Could the steering column switch be bad? Does it have anything to do with the headlights?

Hope somebody can help.

Thanks.

Ok, I'm a dummy..........when I push in the turn signal switch, the lights come on. But, the switch won't stay. It won't click or anything. It just pops back out and doesn't look like it comes apart.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Mark, I can enlighten you, Call me. Too lenthy to post but easy to fix over the phone
Power does not flow from the breaker, it comes from Ign switch to light switch, thru breaker, then to lights.

Ok, I found the problem. I was testing the ignition switch at the post and I was getting power, but the wire was pulled through so the set screw was only contacting the insulation. Still no power to the breakers.

So the last thing I didn't check was the highbeam foot switch - it was covered with nasty phoney rhino-liner. So I took it apart and cleaned it and finally....there was light!!

Sometimes I'm a little slow
