Default head lights wont turn on

Hello I have a quick question my head lights and high beams wont turn on in my 01 z28 everything else works like it should but the lights just went out. I check all the fuses and there is power coming out of the head light switch, but the power is not getting to the connections for my high beams and low beams, what could be the problem or is there anything else I could check?

I believe there is a relay for the headlights but idk where it's at. I'd guess under hood fuse box. Maybe try swapping a relay that is the same as the headlight one, say the fans relay or something to see if they come on. Switch back if it works and go buy a new one. Don't know if that'll help or not but I hope so. Good luck, Keith.

I would say headlight switch then. I know you said you are getting voltage but if you have a spare one laying around try that or grab one from a junk yard maybe. My Ram was doing the same thing and I replaced the dimmer/headlight switch and they work fine now. There is a diode block under the dash somewhere but not sure where. Hope you find it soon. Maybe try your TA switch if they are the same just to verify?
