Thanks for your reply. My son bought contact cleaner and took apart the switch and cleaned it up and all the wires and connectors in the headlamp area including the ground. I tested the voltage to the lamp and got about 6.8 volts. It seemed like something was impeding the voltage. My son had earlier checked the fuses with a multimeter for continuity and all was good. I looked at the fuses and none looked fried whatsoever, so we thought it must be a short somewhere. Guess what, - I decided to check for continuity of the fuses and found one that was no good! I totally looked normal in every way! I simply took the spare fuse and put it in the headlight slot and all was good. My son swears he checked all fuses for continuity, but I think he missed one. Anyways, all is good and all contacts should be clean for quite a while
