Default 1994 headlight diagram

I have a big problem on the headlight not working, high and daylight are working.
I have changed the switch, nogo, and jumped the high-low switch and still no Volt on the headlight.
anyone have a tip, the wires look good but can't find where the beige wire is going before going the the headlight.

The tan (or beige) wire should come from the dimmer switch to power the low beam headlights.
Try jumping the tan wire direct to battery positive. If the lights don't come on, use a test light to check the headlight connector for power and ground.
I think you have either 2 burned out low beam headlights or a faulty dimmer switch.

Sorry, you said you replaced the switch. Was that the dimmer switch or the headlight switch?

I have replaced the light switch, and jumped on the High-low switch, I did'nt know the dimmer has something to do with it.
You are talking about the dimmer for the dash light?

The dimmer switch that I refer to changes your lights from low to high beam, I guess that's what you call the high-low switch.

So my next question is how did you jump the switch, did you apply 12 volts to the tan wire?

Yes I did, and It did not work, but I have taken the tan wire and jumped it to the light directly, and it worked, so I presume that the tan wire is broken somewhere....
