Re: no power to headlights
ck for power from the headlight switch directly where it leaves the spider, using the appropriate color code... make sure you test it with the switch in the proper position to correspond with that particular circuit ...
then go further up the circuit... you may find the issue at the conduit sockets... |

Re: no power to headlights
Glad you found the problem. May I make a suggestion? Keep a wire with alligator clips in your car, wiith such a such a set up you would not need to run a wire, much less loosen a head bolt.
I never leave home without one.
