Re: headlight switch grounded?

[chymar01@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Absolutely. I've been using a test light all over the place. 
There are seven terminals. The black wire at the rear corner brings power in. There are two other terminals that should have power always(one for brake lights, one for interior lights). A tan wire takes power to the dash lights. 
The only one I get power at is the black one.

Are you sure you're hooked to the right terminal? Use a test light and 
trace the function of the switch. That way you can see if the switch is 
making a connection from the input to the output.
