The "turn signal/dimmer multifunction switch on the steering column is probably the problem. Usually the brights continue working.

No headlights ! by tarheeltom

The headlights no longer come on when I turn them on. The reduced beam comes on when I put the car in gear, and the high beams come on when I pull on the wand, but go back off when I release the wand.
 
Have checked the two fuses marked headlights inside the car, and all fuses under the hood. And, I work nights, so really need the headlights.
 
Anyone got any ideas?
 
Thanks

Hope you mean the headlight bulbs and not the entire headlight set. If it's the bulb then (At least on my '96 this is the procedure):
Turn off car.
Pop the hood.
Remove enough of the the long black plastic covering that stretches across both headlights (It unscrews or requires the removal of plastic, breakable plugs) so you can get your hand underneath.
Remove the next cover.
Reach underneath, to the back of the headlight, and unscrew the nob holding the headlight in place.
Disconnect the headlight bulb, put in a new bulb, and screw it back in.
Try to aim the headlight as well as you can by pointing it at a wall.
 
Try putting the plastic covers back on. You should be OK as long as it's still attached.

Have you tried replacing the bulbs? That's the cheap thing to do first.

The bulbs work, at least on high beam when I pull on the wand and hold it. But they don't work the rest of the time.

If I remember right, when I replaced my bulbs the high-beams and day-time running lights still functioned while my low beams did not. Two bulbs later and I was back in business...and yes, when one bulb dies the other usually goes within a week.

Did replacing the bulbs work?
