Default headlights not working....

so i have a 94 gc and my headlights stopped working. I've checked all the fuses and relays,the bulbs,and swapped switches. Other than getting a donor harness does anybody have an idea where to check. The running lights and blinkers all work just no headlights. Any advice would be great. thanks

Check voltage at the headlight plugs, then back at the fuse box and so on and so forth until you find where the power stops, then you'll know what to fix.

It could be the multi-function switch.

It's the black wire on the back of the blue plugs on the backside of the headlight.
