One day I went to turn on my head lights and they popped up but didn't light up. Turn signals work just fine but nothing else no high beams. I have looked at the fuse but can't seam to find the fuse for the head lights because I'm missing some of the fuse box covers. I have search all over and can't find anything that will tell me were the fuse is. Or do you guys think its something else please help. Thank you for your time.
 
It's not a fuse. It's the Headlight relay not doing it's thing or came loose out of its socket. Mine did the same thing-turn on the lights, but no light (with the key on and motor running. If key is in the Off or ACC, headlight door will pop up, but lights won't come on..) The relays are under the cover next to the right headlight door. If you look at the cover, you'll see an area that shows headlight relay. Swap a relay out with another relay and see if that cures the problem.

Good luck-DSM
 
thank you I tried it but it didn't work and your talking about fuse box right behind the passenger head light?
 
Yea - behind the passenger headlight door. Is that 40 and the 10 amp fuse right in front of the relays still look good-both being your lowbeams and high beam fuses?

Take them out, clean the contacts and replace them. Might have to check your combination switch and connections under the steering column as well.

good luck-DSM
