What to check next? Headlights out

Replaced the turnsignal switch and the headlight switch (although with an older one).

On the dash I have the highbeam blue light on, but no high beams or low beams no matter where the turn signal switch is. Parking lights and turn signals all work.

What can I check now? I did check the fuses as well.

There are four or five plugs at the firewall under the dash -- they connect the wiring for those switches through to the trunk. It's easy to knock them out or knock them loose, and you need to get under there with a flashlight to find them.

Does the dash switch turn the headlights on and off or are they always on?

Is the blue light aways on or only when your flash the hi beams or switch them on?

probably a bad TS switch. HL switch gives power to TS switch, TS switch to the fuses and then fuses to the lights. see if there's power at the fuses.
