Headlights don't work after Interior Removal

After removing all the interior for the rollcage I found that my headlights don't work anymore, with the exception of flashing the high beams.

Here's what's not working
  • DRLs won't come on
  • Low Beams won't work
  • High beam set on (stick forward) won't work
If I pull the high beam stick back (momentary flash) they will illuminate. Side markers, turn signals, tail lights and brake lights all function normally.
  • I checked the fuses under the hood - all good
  • I checked fuses under the dashboard - all good.


Any thoughts on the subject would be greatly helpful. Thank you.

Check all fuses both inside and in engine bay. May need to trace wiring and connectors.

All fuses double checked and good. I haven’t touched anything in the engine bay as the car is unmodified.

This is puzzling.

Found it! A black plug behind the radio area was disconnected separating the two harnesses. “Trace connectors” was spot on.
