The headlamps on our corsica do not work; all other lights are working. The owners manual says that the fuse for the headlamps is in the switch, is this something we can repair on our own? Does someone know how to do this?
Thanks

check fuse 7 in fuse panel for juice. if good pull switch assembly out and check the red and orange wires for juice. if good, then turn on switch and test yellow and brown wires for juice. yellow wire goes to dimmer switch. then proceeds as tan and light grn wires to headlights.
