Why will only one of my headlights work.

lol, s10 wiring is not the same as the camaro. have you tried a new sealbeam yet. heres a wiring schematic http://shbox.com/1/headlight_chevy_1995.jpg
grounds g105 and g106 are by the top of the radiator on the left and right had sides. in the top of the bar that goes across.

yes you can take the headlight out and check the connectors and inspect the wires to see if you can find a short or brake in it. test at the headlight connectors to see if they are getting power and a good ground. high beams have a black wire and a green wire, low beams have a black wire and a yellow wire. the lights on the right side are grounded to right on the crossbar and the left on the left side of it.

while S10 wiring diagram would be different, the concept of "everything has a power and ground" holds true. hence my suggestion, while falling on blind eyes and deaf ears (admits to not being able to read a map), to look for a failed ground.
i'm going to suggest selling the car, and buying a bicycle

yah and under that concept a mustang is wired like a camaro. lol, and there was a time when i didnt understand wiring diagrams so hopefully the fellow will take the time to learn a bit on it. makes trouble finding electrical problems easier.

they are. they have a positive, and a negative connection on everything electrical.
OP--it's called an electrical circuit. you have to have a positive, and a negative.. aka "hot" and "ground" for a circuit to be complete. we've given you the most basic things to check, and you have yet to pull a headlight?
good luck on your future projects.

i'm trying to give the guy basic information. if you learn the principles, and put it to good use, you can build on that info.
he sounds like he wants someone to go do it for him, not learn from advice.

Alright I found the headlights Im going to buy but I was wondering If I should bring the car Into a auto shop to have them check like the wiring and check If there Is anything wrong thats making the lights go bad because It seems weird that 3 headlights would go out but Im not sure how much that would cost to bring In and have a guy check out anyone have any Ideas.

I could probably change the headlights I Just didnt wanna buy new ones because that will cost almost a hundred bucks then Install them and have them blow or something like that because maybe there Is a wiring problem.

I'm hoping this is just a really stupid question, and it's not a part of your problem, but you do know that all four lights don't turn on when you turn your lights on right? The two outside lights turn on when you turn the switch on, and the other two turn on when you flip the high beam switch. I would assume this is common sense, but you never know.
