94 with NO LIGHTS AT ALL!

Need some help!
94 ext cab 4WD 22RE, 5 spd, no a/c, no power windows/locks

The problem is I have no headlights (high or low beams), no taillights, no brake lights, no dash lights except the parking brake indicator and CEL....dome light works, wipers work

New headlight relay
Fuses are brand new, double checked for continuity with voltmeter
Continuity in headlight switch on column...
The flasher (pull back on the headlight dimmer) does make the headlights come on....

Is there somethin I'm missin or is this a bad ground somewhere or what?!?

double checked the headlight switch..it was bad...after replacing it, i had to replace almost every single bulb in the thing (only had 1 headlight and turn signals working) i'm guessing that someone somehow shorted out the truck somehow and blew damn near everything at once....its been a headache but its coming together now...

I can`t see how a failed head light switch could cause the blubs to all blow up at once.

Now if you had a massive voltage surge with the light switch on like some one hooked a jumper battery up in series instead of parallel hit the system with 24 volts .

Now that would cause something like that or maybe welding without the battery disconnected.

Better check the multifunction switch connector for a burnt pin.
