Greetings!
When I decided to get a car to work on, I picked up a 1971 Grande, which was doing fantastic for a while. Unfortunately, out-of-the-blue, my headlights stopped working. Both high and low beams, entirely. My parking lights and tail-lights both work fine however. Now, I'm not the world's greatest electrician, but my google-fu has been found lacking. I have a multimeter, and have been attempting to find out anything that is going on with the headlights, but I'm not entirely sure what to do. I've discovered that flickering headlights are a common issue, but mine merely will not turn on. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be wrong? I have not replaced the light switch or the dimmer switch as of yet. I can see the ground for the headlights and it looks fine, but how would I test to see if it is no longer grounded?
Thanks!
