Default headlight problem

OK, iM WORKING ON MY 92 CX HATCH.....ALL STOCK FOR NOW.
tHE PROBLEM IM HAVING IS WITH THE HEADLIGHT/PARKING/DASH LIGHTS

NOTHING IS WORKING AT ALL.....THE ONLY THING THAT HAPPENS WHEN I TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON IS THE HIGHBEAM INDICATOR LIGHTS UP, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS WITH THE LIGHTS AT ALL. I CAN FLICK THE SWITCH FROM LOW TO HIGH AND THE INDICATOR STAYS LIT UP!!

CHECKED ALL THE FUSES, BULBS...ALL ARE GOOD.
EVEN SWAPPED OUT FOR A KNOWN WORKING SWITCH...COMPLETE ASSEMBLY.

ALL POWERS AND GROUNDS ARE GOOD AT THE FUSE BOX AND EVEN AT THE SWITCH.....ANY INSIGHT WOULD BE APPRECIATED....JUST AT MY WITS END WITH THIS THING RIGHT NOW...THANKS REP WILL BE GIVEN.

I would test probe both sides of the fuse for 12v and work my way to the switch. If I get power in, I should get power out.

I would then test probe the wires at/or close to, the bulb. I should get
power there.

When power comes out of the switch, but doesn't get to the bulb, it is usually a break in the wire.

I have had a lot of import electrical lighting problems come in lately.
Sometimes as a result of what a previous owner had someone else do.

What was the last thing you did electrical-wise just before the lights quit working?

Let us know what you find.-Bob
