Unhappy Headlights and DRL not working.

'96 Blazer LS, 4.3 v6. 4x4
I was driving out in the snow yesterday, took a corner too fast and lost control of my vehicle. Hit a bank and a fence, no major damage that I saw other than my tire coming completely off the rim.

The only weird thing I've noticed after going to drive that same night was that my headlights do not work at all, high or low beams. Nor do my DRL. Fog and parking lights are fine, so are my turn signals, break and reverse lights. All lights inside work fine.

I started with checking every fuse, all good. Did a visual check of switches, I don't have a meter but that'll be the first thing I check when I can get to one. All connections are fine to the sealed beam as far as I can tell. Only other things I can think of is both sealed beam lights both went out at impact or perhaps my ground got dirty which I have yet to check (the whole drivers side still has mud on it from the farmers yard.)

Any help and guidance please? I'm not very electronically inclined.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure there is a breaker in the fuse box? Would this require pulling the fuse box out to expose wires?

Bump; took it to the shop, the guys as stumped as me

I have the same problem, I got mine to work for a while by moving the wires around up under the brake pedal but they have stopped again. You might try that as I think there is a connection in that area that is easily dislodged. Be sure to post back if you find it, there are several of us here with the same thing, all light work except running lights and head lights.
