2002 Club Car DS Headlights and Tail-lights Not Working

[JoeKerr]

Afternoon. My dad has this model and everything worked fine until he added a volt gauge to his dash. Horn works, blinkers, clock, ignition, etc. The headlights and tail-lights do not. We have checked, what we thought, was everything. Hooked up volt meter to see if we have continuity, and we do. Downloaded a wiring diagram and see the ground wiring. My question is, could there be an additional ground wire that may have come off when he disassembled the dash that we could be missing? Multiple ground wires on the battery bank?

Just so I/we understand-you have checked continuity on the "hot" conductor of the lamps to the headlight switch?
Did you check continuity of the other lamp connection ( lets call it neg) to the other side (neg ) side of the of DC/DC "reducer" ?

There is usually another ground bus bar behind the dash just like the one near the charger port, the tabs often get pulled off at both locations so that would be a good check.
