My headlights won't work???

For sum reason my headlights stopped working. The bulbs aren't blown and all the rear lights and side markers work, everything except the headlights. I tested the three prongs after I took off the bulb and theres no power. BTW no fusues are blown either,I checked the driver kick panel fuses and one box under the hood? ANy1 know why or how I can fix this?

check the wires going to the headlights?

maybe the relay for the switch in the steering colum went out...or the actual switch?

check the relay pack and see if anything is bad in there

Theres a 40 amp fuse for the headlights.

Well I checked all the fuses, connections and everything else again. However now the parking lights stopped working to. If I pull the lever the high beams will come on and the turning signal also work. I think its the relay but I don't know how to check. Any other solutions?

it could be the switch for the light's the high beams still come on with the parking brake lights on right? check the switch with the multimeter for contiunty for pins for the light's i have a 96 so i'm not sure what pins those are. it's a3 to a9 on the 96 but just do a google serch or call toyota and see. there also a passenger side kick panel fuse box you can check if you havent, but it doesnt seem like it would be a realy if the high beams work check to see when you turn the high beams on that the low beams get voltage then if they do then it should be the switch's fault (dont trust me on this)

The highbeams only work if I pull the switch forward, for example if you wanted to just flash them. The lights on the trunk don't work either. I dunno what to do. Is there any special wire I should check under the dash? I belive the one for the tail lights is green wire connectedto te fuse box. This also doesn't have 12 volt.Help SUM1!

well just pull the plug for the switch and check it probaly just falling apart inside, check the see where you have continuty in it (off, parking, low beam, flash high, high on) as you progress there should be more continuty in the switch i belive if you dont get contiuty moving it the switch is bad, that or give up and only drive during the day
