Lost all headlights last night. Smelled burning wires. I have dashboard, parking, fog lights and parking lights. When I pull on the turn signal/low high beam selector, the brights work. Am I looking at a relay issue or a headlight switch?

Hi uspatriot1963, my name is Alex and I will be helping you. It looks to me like you might have a problem in your headlight dimmer switch. I have included a headlight wiring diagram also. Hope this helps, Alex.

I am glad it wasn't the headlight relay, they are a bear to get at.
