Headlight/Turn Signals

I've had this problem before and cannot remember how I fixed it. And yes, I am familiar with the search function, but am getting slammed today and wanted to post this in hopes I will be able to tackle and fix the problem when I get home later this evening. My 73.5 is my daily driver for a few days as my other car is down and driving on Texas freeways without headlights or turn signals ain't my cup of tea.

In short, the headlights and turn signals both went out. The only action I get is a solid green arrow on the dash when I push the lever to signal left. Corner lights still work.

I know the dimmers and signals run through the same circuits. I just replaced the stalk within the past year. Again, I have had this issue before and plan to review my posts, personal notes and schematics as time permits throughout the day. I apologize for not doing my due diligence before posting, but I am short on time today and wanted to throw out a line and see what bites before I head home later. Thanks in advance.

Check all the spade terminals on the light switch by getting upside down and looking behind the dash, maybe a feed terminal spade is loose or fallen off.
