No lights

Electrical problem
1995 BMW 740 V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 139000 miles

I recently drove my car and all was working fine. Today I started the car and the headlights, turn signals, and brake lights will not come on. The dash indicates the lights are on but the headlights are not actually working. It seems as if all power to the headlights, flashers and rear lamps is gone. I have checked all the fuses with no luck. Any help would be appreciated before I take it in to get looked at.

The LKM or Lamp Control Module is suspect and it can be scanned with bmw specific software that most independents and the dealers have. I'm not sure this helps, but if you checked the fuses, the only thing I can think of is the LKM, and if it is, there are no user serviceable parts, it might require replacement.
