Ignition OFF, lights OFF. Remove all bulbs. Left low beam socket, solid yellow wire terminal, measure resistance to battery negative.

Burned, you're a life saver! I've looked at every year of second gen schematics and STILL haven't found the right one. This is it! Where did you find this?

Both of those are OK. Thanks to Burned, my headache is gone.

Next step: Left high beam to right high beam, purple to purple and either one to battery negative.

Okay you just lost me, am I doing something new now by taking purple left directly to purple right?

Sorry, one DVOM probe on the left high beam purple wire. The other probe on the right high beam purple wire. Then either one of the purple wires to battery negative. Need resistance for both tests, 200 ohm scale. They will be different readings.
