So i jump out the ocean and notice my headlight switch doesn't work. i have brake lights working; but no dash, dome, or head lights or fogs. i checked all fuses they are all good . replaced the switch for the knob. Still nothing. I tested the switch plug in and only have ground. any clues? Vehicle listed above is the Sport model.

Okay. If you pull the switch out and measure voltage on the Tan and Black wire you should have 12 volts. What do you have? If you have 12 volts then jump pin 4 to pin 9 and see if the lights come on. If they don't then the switch and wiring to the switch are fine and your issue is further down the line.

Let me know what you find with this and we can go from there. Thanks
