Head Lights not working
Wierdest thing happened... Neither head lights work. Don't matter if its low or high beam. I check the lights, and fuses panel. There ok. I am thinking maybe tomorrow checking the junction box on the fire wall before ripping apart the the light switch.
Any ideas?

Run a jumper wire from battery positive to the tan or light green wire on either head light plug. If the light don't come on then check the grounds to each headlight. If they do then check the plug at the dimmer switch.It could be a bad dimmer switch also.
Do the parking lights work when you pull the switch out part way?

I had that happen to me. Drove me CRAZY check your highbeam switch it can get dirty, disconneted, or short out (takes some real abuse on the floor) but the low beams and hi beams both run through the switch its the first thing to go

Thanks guys! Speed Racer was right. You pointed me it the right direction. The connector for the High Beam switch was corroded. The ground wire was the wrost, as it's common to the high and low beam circuit.
