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.

Start checking the brown wire on frame to the tailights if you get poer then none then it's shorted wire and needs repair.

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.
