The low beam went out on the way home from Homecoming. Neither light works. The bulbs are good and the fuse is good. I don't have power at the fuse for the lights, but the fuse block has power everywhere else. Can someone tell me where the voltage to the fuse comes from? Any other ideas on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Jerry

a headlight relay..... which might have backed out of it's socket in the fuse block. another possibility is that one of the wires in the left side switch housing may have come un-attached from it's switch contact. pretty easy to check with maybe a 5/32 allen wrench.
Also, try swapping relays back and forth, you COULD get lucky and just have a failed relay.
