Hi Randy,
If you checked all wiring it would work. Wiring just conducts current from the battery to the lights with a switch and dimmer switch in the route.
You just need to follow your wiring diagram from source to the lights with a test light to find where the power stops.

If you don't have a wiring diagram you can go to my web site and copy the one on the site.

76 and 77 are the same as far as lights go.
