Night had fallen and I went to turn the jeep lights on, but only the tail lights came on, neither headlight? All the connections look good and it was just sudden, but sure why. Anyone else experience this?

When I had the same issue it was the switch... just needed a good take apart and contact cleaning

You just can't catch a break lately, can you?
A multimeter is your friend here. Basics, check switch, grounds, plugs...

Check the dimmer switch for proper lead placement and continuity.

Don't forget to check the fuse on the light switch.

There is no fuse, there’s a self-resetting circuit breaker. If it was open, he would not have parking lights or tail lights, either. BW

I looked at it tonight, and one of the connections was dirty or loose or both, lights are back! When I get home I'll give it a good cleaning and dielectric grease it to keep it safe for the future
Thanks gents
