Using a test light connect one end to a power source, then touch the other end to the terminal and see if it lights. If it does, the ground is good.

OR

With a multimeter, check continuity between the terminal and a good ground source.

So the ground is good... tested with my meter. .

I spoke with a mechanic friend n he asked if it could hold a load also n he told me how to use a headlight n see if it ran that n it does....

FYI we did pull the dash to check all the diode n such under there n all r good. Power both sides. I have tracked it till it goes into the high beam in the gauge cluster n that is where it seems to end.... thinking it bad in there..

I got it fixed.... it was my instrument panel.. power went in but didn't come out.. In the one I've been stealing parts out of was a good one so I got it n hooked it up n there were my headlights.. The odometer is off by 40000+ so I will just write on it that it's off due to an exchange.. I'm so dang happy. .

Twan check ur c 27 connector on the back of the instruments. It's the left one in the center pair when u r looking at the front of ur instruments.. My issue was I had power at the #5 green wire but not to the #1 red/green wire.. N if it doesn't go thru there no lights. N I did check my fog lights n they r working I just have to replace one bulb...

I am so happy though. It's all back together n looking good....

Next is remove the grill n headlights to replace one assembly since it gets water in it n to replace the grill cuz someone thought it would be cute to put a Lexus emblem on it... lol

Thanks for the help u guys....

I'll take a look while I'm in there, since I wanted to pull the little green covers off the instrument cluster bulbs.
