Just a guess, but it sounds like the rheostat that is in the headlamp switch gave up, have you twisted the headlamp switch to see if they come on intermittently ? The fuses should be checked with a meter, sometimes they are bad even when they look good.

Figured this out a while ago but didn't update.

My rear wiper never worked, seemed that dead motor was frying fuses such as the cluster lights and electric window fuses.


If your rear wiper doesn't work it might be the culprit
