Purple wire to headlight - disconnect the wire going into the headlight
Retract switch, you will need to get under the dash and try to get to the switch from under- you will have to remove the panel
Just to be SURE... when you measure, you are using the red lead to touch the pin and the black lead to touch chassis ground ....right?
Also IMPORTANT, when you checked for voltage where the fuse plugs in, did you measure with both leads in where the fuse plugs in? (you CAN'T do that) If you stick both leads in each end in there, that may not work because maybe there is an open towards the switch. If there is, you won't get a reading. Just put the red lead onto the pin and black lead onto chassis ground. then move the red lead to the other pin that the fuse plugs into. If you dont get voltage, then your problem is in a wire or unit before the fuse and not after.
Go back and try to see if you get any voltage on any of those points I gave you, then we can isolate the area. BTW, the headlight timer is on the driver side panel just left and in front of the door. you will have to remove the side panel to the left of the brake pedal.

Sorry it's taken so long to get a response going, kids, halloween, etc.
The following was checked with a multimeter and with the "lights on":
Relay switch in-dash:
Red w/blue stripe: ~12v
Solid green: ~12v
Solid red: ~4v
4-pin brown connecter in the light switch stalk:
Turquoise/green: ~12v
Multi-pin connecter in the light switch stalk:
Green w/red stripe: ~12v
Red w/blue stripe: ~12v
(didn't really check the other ones)
Under the hood/Fuse box relay on passenger side:
15a fuses: Zero reading on both.
Headlight 3-pin connector: Zero reading on all three.
Headlight motor connector:
Purple wire: ~12v
Light timer assembly unplugged:
Orange wire: ~12v
Red w/blue stripe: ~12v
Light timer assembly plugged-in:
Orange wire: ~12v
Red w/blue stripe: ~12v
Solid red: ~4v
I hate electronics and because of that I can't read wiring diagrams for shit. They just don't make any sense to me. Let me know if any of this helps. I also have pictures of where I tested everything.
