This just started. The only lights that work are the headlights. No instrument panel lights, no parking lights, no tail lights and no break lights.

I traced the circuit chart and used the voltmeter and the only circuit on the “left side of the chart” working is the headlights (and high beams).

Both circuit breakers (above instruments under dash) are getting power (both posts of each breaker are getting 6v) and I’m getting power to both battery connections to the light switch. Assumed is was the switch - just replaced it and that’s not it.

What else? Am I missing another breaker? There is (I think) another breaker on the firewall near the power top switch (convertible) that doesn’t appear to be getting power, but power Top works - didn’t test while running the power top, so might be that that circuit is only hot while running.
