Electrical/headlights failure...can anyone help?

I offer these suggestions in spite of the fact that I know absolutely nothing about how your car is wired, so take them with a big grain of salt.

First, run a jumper cable from the headlight ground to a known good ground, and test the lights. If they still don't work, it's not the ground.

Second, use your continuity tester to see if power is getting to the light switch. If it is, check that it leaving the switch when it is ON. Then follow the power until you find where it stops. This is not as easy as it sounds. ... Also be on the lookout for a relay (typically four wires connected to it). It could be the problem.

Oh, yeah...looks exactly like that

Looks like there's a fuse replacement in my near future.

Is that a built-in relay? Here's why I ask:

The guy who built the car at least had the good sense to install the headlight switch with the fuse on the bottom of the block....a newbie might not think about that sort access issue.

I'll keep trying with Photobucket....

Cheers, and thanks!
