Question NEED HELP Headlights are dead!

Both of my headlights stopped working last week and I cannot figure out what is wrong. I checked the fuses, they are all good. I replaced the relay and the bulbs. I checked the highbeam switch, it tested fine. The only other thing I think it could be, is the lighting switch.

How do I get to the lighting switch?
Could it be anything else?

I just need to know before I go hunting down wires/connectors.

Your help would be much appreciated!

try to pull your started switch button out see if it is sticking in.

Did you check the fuse by looking at it, or physically replacing it? Fuses can be tricky sometimes, and look okay to the naked eye but not work.

The starter button or wiring harness would be the next places I looked.

Aken: I used a multi meter and checked for continuity.

Joe: That was it! Thanks a lot bud. I appreciate it. I have been trying to figure this out for about a week and a half. I knew it was something simple that I was over looking. You the man!
