no headlights/highbeams or dashlight for highbeam

hey guys

having a problem on my 1995 cx hatch. i have no headlights/highbeams or dashlight for the highbeam indicator. the dash lights work for oil/battery though. checked all the fuses in both fuse boxes but none are blown. any ideas where i should look next?

thanks

Re: no headlights/highbeams or dashlight for highbeam

ok i need some help, i bought a new horn, installed it. when i press the horn on the steering wheel nothing happens, doesnt blow a fuse but doesnt work either. also i dont have headlights anymore, i have running lights but when i turn on the headlights or highbeams nothing happens, also dont have the light for the speedo anymore. i checked all the fuses in the under hood fuse box and in the under dash fuse box and none are blown. turning signals work though. i have checked the wiring in the under hood fuse box.

from what i understand the horn is a constant 12v ? i hooked up my multimeter in 12v battery test mode and touched the two wires for the horn and the multimeter read 0. shouldnt this read 12v?

i need help with what to look for?

it has to be a fuse. and yes the horn has one power wire, and the ground is the horn assembly bolted to the chassis.

the lights on my dash for the battery/oil work, its only related to the headlights and horn and the actual gauge backlight where things stop working.

i removed an old 1995 clifford alarm from the car, unfortunately i dont remember if the lghts worked right after or if something else has happened.
