no headlights

Son and I are working on a 1982 Ford Bronco the problem is there is no headlights or tail lights. We have installed new dimmer swithch and light switch still nothing.
Seems like there is no power but can't find a fuse or a fusable link for this system. Blinkers and brake lights do work. Where do we go from here. Please e-mail me at [email address] ???

Power goes from headlight switch to dimmer switch. If floor dimmer switch, easier to test than, colum. Of the three wires, one should be hot when headlight switch turned on,
One goes to low beam, and one goes to highbeam and highbeam indicator.
or can put jumper to bypass switch for test. You could apply 12 volts to see if lights
work at the dimmer.

Check all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter.
