Headlights, signal lights and side work lights won't work. Turn indicators on dash don't flash either. Fuse for lights is good. Hazard lights and top of cab work lights are okay. Can anyone tell me if there is a relay under the hood that might cause this?

Did you just look at the fuses, or did you test them with an ohm meter?

There should be some fuses up by the battery, or sometimes the accessory feed off the battery can have a loose connection.

Those fuses just feed the primary fuse box I believe. All the lights & computers should be fed out of the fuse box in the cab (or operators station for non-cab machines). The uuse or 2 up front are big slow blow ones around 40-60@.

Most often many electrical problems end up being grounds.
Carefully check them all, sand or grind to have 'metal to metal' contact.
If in doubt add a pigtail type ground loop.

I tested the fuse with a meter and also switched it with another 30 amp for the wipers. Fuse was definitely good. Next chance I get I think I'll split the cover on the steering column and check for power to the switches.

I thought about ground too even though that isn't what it is like. Usually with a ground issue there would still be some current but this problem gives me zero current. I still went ahead and tried grounding direct to the negative at one plug and no difference.

Yes, the big slow burn fuses up front are the same for this model. Stopped at a dealership and talked to the service manager today. He looked at the wiring schematic and there are no other relays. I'm beginning to think there is a bad harness connection. I'll just have to dig in and hunt it down.
