Default Help! Headlights & Fog lights out..

2000. Fuses Ok. Bright light indicator won't stay on. All other lights (turn & brakes) work. Ckd DRL fuse-OK. I am not mechanically inclined.
At wit's end.

What happens when you turn the dial on the dash?Is the e-brake light lit on the dash? Try pushing the button under the illumination dial on and off twice in rapid succesion. Still doesn't work? Someone else will have a suggestion soon.

Cracker, Thanks for the reply. Dial works lights fine, E-light comes on . Light goes out when brake released. Pushed all buttons as suggested. All interior lights work. Double ckd all exterior lights-cargo lamp, license plate, parking, turn signals, brake lights etc..
No headlights or fog lights.
Might get a witch doctor next.

All the lights work with the dial? Not automatically right? Might be the sensor.

Have you done any work under the hood or any hard off-roading? possibly the harness is loose @ the firewall. If you have a voltmeter, test the sockets first, then engine compartment fuses and relays, the interior conections. In other makes the relays are the culprit, in my experience.

Had a meter put on relays etc. All appears to be fine except the headlight & fog light relays are not grounding. Need to find schematic for light system. A friend thinks I might have had an unwanted visitor gnawing on a few wires. Heres hoping. Thanks to all of you. Will advise.
