Headlight circuit breaker?

In the manual it says there is an additional circuit breaker for the headlights. Does anyone know where it is? I am having issues with my 95', the parking lights work and the headlights don't work when the switch is pulled all the way out. If I hold the multi-function switch to engage the brights the lights turn on, but once I release the mf switch the low/high beams don't work at all.

Mine did the same thing. I pulled the headlight switch out and found a bad circuit on it. Right now I have a toggle switch to jump that circuit on the headlight switch. Kind of a hassle but haven't had time to get a new switch yet.

Do a search, there is a TON of stuff on headlights. Mine didn't come on this morning, just parking lights. The mf switch toggling didn't help any. I bought a new hd light sw @ Napa, junk - one prong for dome light and it broke off when I plugged the wiring harness to it. Went and picked one up @ AutoZone. It at least looks like it has all the parts, we'll see in the morning. There is a thread somewhere that mentions hosing down the mf switch with contact cleaner for a quick fix, if it's just dirty.

The multi function switch gets junk in it. It can be cleaned some times with a good dose of electrical cleaner but may need a replace. No circuit breaker, fuse only.

The older cars had a c.b. built right in the switch.
