Default Headlight Problem

For some reason my headlights stopped turning on by the headlight switch. This happened all of a sudden one day. I press the button down and nothing happens. I bought a headlight swich thinking the buttons were shot. This also didnt work. So then i wired the lights up straight and they came on. Anybody else have this problem and what did u do to fix it?
Thanks

Are the harnesses snapping on to the back of the headlight switch? I had an issue with mine where the harness was too short to snap into the switch when the switch was pulled out of the dash.

Check the ends of the wires that go into the harness , some times the plug on the end gets brittle and pieces break off causing the connecting ends of the wires to slide out the back of the plug a bit when you push it onto the switch.
