Headlight Switch Overload

[1985GMC]

85 gmc k2500. single headlights

the taillamp feed and battery fused are the two orange wires the crimp together then get place into headlight switch. when i turn the switch on, every light works except the headlights. my multimeter is telling me OL overload on that terminal.

i actually had this same issue two years ago and got lucky and the headlights randomly worked again.

Why is the switch overloading at the taillamp/batt fused spot?

do i have them incorrectly crimped together?

thanks

headlights have a built in breaker,not sure what was crimped where,need a pic(marked 40?)

What setting are you using on your meter?

OL means Open Line when using the ohms function on a multimeter.



Do you have power coming out of the switch for the hesdlights(second pull). If you do, check the hi/lo switch in the column.
