My headlights quit working last night. I suspect a short circuit, but rear lights, dash lights and dome light all still work. Where should I look for the culprit?

Welcome aboard !!!
I concur with Tomhand, Cross the wires over at the dimmer. I think you'll find the problem there. Ron |

Clean the dimmer switch connection along with jiggling it around. That might solve your problem. It did mine last night.

Same thing just happened to my truck. It was the dimmer switch. Be sure to also clean the connections. After I changed the switch the High beams went out. It was a dirty connection
