Ok, so one night I was driving and my headlights worked fine. I stopped at the chinese place for dinner and when I came out I started the car, but my lights would not turn on. My first instinct was to check the fuses and relays and they appear to be fine. I went to my local Autozone and they sold me a circuit tester and told me to see if I was getting power to my headlights, or my headlight switch.
I tested the headlights and found there was no power, unless I pulled the turn signal handle back to activate the brights. Now as far as the switch itself, it has power going to it and when I activate the switch my Tail, Parking and Instrument Panel lights all turn on, but not my headlights.
My girlfriend's grandmother was talking about the ground cables, and a person at Autozone also mentioned another device which I'm guessing is in my steering column.
I know I've said a lot here, but I feel that the more information a person gives, the easier it is to diagnose what is going on. If anyone can help me it'd be great. I miss driving my truck and haven't for days because I'm mainly a night owl. And btw, it's a 94 XLT I forgot to mention. Anyway, any ideas are appreciated!
