Check for power to the "power in" side of the headlight switch. Check for "power out" after switch is turned on. It is important to check for DC volts at this location. I'm assuming you've already done this at the headlights. Trace the power upstream or downstream as the results of the "tests indicate. You will find the source of the problem if it is a power loss problem. If the power is good at the headlights and switch then the problem is a bad ground. Clean your grounds and you will be good to go.

My headlights didnt work one time both high and low beam and it ended up being the high beam switch under the dash came undone.

Where exactly will I find it under the dash please?

Look under the dash as you click the high beams on and off you should see a shaft move. Yours may be different mine is an 87.

My 90 I think has a circuit breaker low on the fuse panel. Might be holding the lever back by-passes it.

Pull the little metal box and check it for continuity.
