Ford Repair: Ford Probe Headlights Will not illuminate, headlight illumination, headlight doors

Question
Hi Erik,

Man, I hope you can help or point me in the right direction.  I have a 1989 Ford Probe.  The headlight doors pop open when the switch is pressed and the other exterior lights illuminate, but I have no headlight illumination.  I also noted that the dimmer switch doesn't do that flash to pass thing anymore.  These failures seem to have occurred at the same time.  I checked the only fuse I could find labeled "HEAD".  It looks good.  I am looking at the wiring diagram in my Haynes manual, and it looks like it could be the dimmer relay or the headlamp relay, but I don't know where they are to check them.  Do you know where these relays are located?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Answer
Hello and thanks for the question... I'll try to help.
 What I would suggest you do is check for power at the head lamp connections first. It could be that the bulbs are bad? Next, I would check for power at the switch, and since the switch isn't working in the flash to pass mode ( that would my place to start)-------replace it.
Hope this helps,
Erik
