Driving LIghts revised...

OK all wondering what your thoughts would be. I went threw all the fuses in the truck, inside the cab and out in the engine compartment. I checked all the relays, and I took out the light switch and checked for the thing on the back. all were there and good. Driving lights still don't work.. :'( Any Idea's??? <br>Its an 01 sport. <br><br> I have one question? I took the light switch out of the dash.. Now this part everyone talks about that falls off so to speak... I took the switch apart (seperated the two halves), but do I need to take it apart farther? ??? I looked at a peice that was like brass prongs that when you pull the switch makes contact with a brass washer.. or did I miss something.. Any help please..

As DF5152 said. Never take anything apart until you have checked for power from the bulbs back. If you do not have 12-14 volts at the light then check back until you find where the power starts. If there is power at the bulb then check if the bulb is burnt. Sometimes a bad bulb will look OK so use a VOM to check for resistance across the bulb itself. If there is no resistance (open circuit) then the bulb is kaput.
