Talking head light problems

Hey guys, Im new here, so here goes...
I have a 69 chevy long bed, i have tail lights and a parking light in the front but the headlights wont come on, I have power out of the headlight switch when i pull out to the second click but the power is not getting to the bulbs, any ideas?
And also where do i start trouble shooting no turn signal issues?

thanks for your help!!

Look at the connector on either side ...it's a three wire connection, one power to the lamp low beam, power to the lamp high beam and a ground. sounds like your grounds are loose or corroded.

Re: head light problems

Look down at the floor and find the dimmer switch, pull back carpet/matting and look at the connector. If it is corroded or melted or bad you should replace it. A bad dimmer can make the whole thing go kerblooey.
