1993 Ford Taurus SHO. Headlights went out on the way home last night. All other lights are OK. Checked light and dimmer switch positions. Checked all fuses I could see, including 60 amp headlight fuse under the hood. I have power at the 60 amp fuse, but no power at both headlights.

Do lights in dash respond to the headlight position. What about parking lights and the high beam low beam indicator.

All lights work (dash, markers, parking, directionals etc.) Except low beam headlights. When light switch is turned to headlights there is no power at the headlight connection. I noticed when I pulled directional lever to flash the high beams, the high beams flash and the dash high beam indicator lights but low beam still out. When I push directional lever forward to keep high beams on the dash high beam indicator light and the high beams don't go on.

Blackop555 - Thanks for helping, I replaced the headlight switch in the dash and that was the fix. Just out of curiosity where is the headlight relay? I thought that might have been one of the problems and if it were I wouldn't have been able to replace it. Thanks again.

Its integral to the Smart junction box. Usually doesnt go bad. Sorry I wasnt on yesterday or I wouldve told you to replace the switch as well. Due to the symptoms you had.
