All my other lights worked, so I took it to the shop, and they said it was the combination switch (headlight switch). So, I ordered a new one online and put it in, now all my lights work except for my headlights. What should I do next?

Hello,

If the headlights were working before you installed the new switch, then the issue is likely a faulty switch.

Another possibility is burnt fuses for the headlights. There are 2, 10A fuses located in the under-hood fuse bot for the headlights you might want to inspect.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

I checked the fuses, they are good. So, what would my next move be since I already changed the switch?

Can it possibly be a wire?

If you are not getting power to the fuse, then it could be a wire between the switch or the switch itself (since the headlights worked before replacing the switch). It could have a bad connector or loose connection for that pin.
