the switch itself can just die out with no warning... though some seem to
have intermittent problems first....

what is it that I can check  for this .

you can by pass the switch with a wire to see if the headlights will work
without the switch in the circuit....

also, the ignition switch is a possible suspect also... costs about $10 and
easy to pull the old one and plug in the new one just to see if that fixes
the problem... if it does permanent installation is a bit harder...

you can buy the ignition switch from Ken Wilfey and read the instrustions
for testing & installation at www.vanagain.com ... you can also buy the
ignition switch from www.busdepot.com

Good Luck,
Bill
