Check for voltage on that wire at the headlamp switch, with the switch activated, if there is voltage, you have a wiring circuit problem. If no voltage, could be the lite switch, itself, or voltage to the lite switch.

I saw where you talking to three or four of us at the same time, different posts. Those other guys are way sharper than I.

I looked at my wiring again. It appears the voltage from the panel lamps fuse goes to dimmer switch and then fromn there. Forget about the horn relay.

if you have power to the headlight switch but not out the brown wire to tailights then it's probably teh headlight ssitch is bad orthe plug isn't in all the way or the headlight switch isn't gorunded correctly for tailights to work or if its' been recently changed it may be the wrong one.

Sounds like you have a bad switch,take the faceplate off the dash,remove the switch and check the harness in the back of the switch
