Default turn signal, head lamp problem- Please!

-Hi I just bought a 95 805 turbo wagon and the night I brough it home, the regular beam lights are not functioning. Turn signals are not working, and neither are the power side mirrors. I've checked the fuses and nothing is burnt or blown. Checked the bulbs and bulbs are fine. Does anyone have any idea what this might be? I am stumped. Of course I bought the wagon as-is so the lot isnt going to do a damn thing [>:] Anyone have this problem before??? Please help, I need lights!!!

You might have 2 different problems.
The headlight switch might be bad causing the headlights to not work.
The ignition switch might be bad causing the blinkers to not work.Or the turn signal switch might be bad.
Try wiggling the ignition switch and see if anything starts working

Just went out and jiggled ignition. they all work again W00T! Thank you so much. At least I can drive now, without being paranoid. Thanks again. I will post pic as soon as I can take one, the car has been taken care of so great, I just got rid of my 83 BMW 528 to get this wagon and it kills when something faults up on the first day.

When you get a chance replace the electrical part of the switch.
It should take you about 30 to 40 minutes to replace.
