A few nights ago I lost all lights (headlights, brakes, directional) after I came out of the grocery store. I changed out the mod 6 way switch tonight and no change. The ignition and all the wipers work fine. I plan to start tracing it down tomorrow. Any starting points or ideas?

I'd start by making sure that the safety switch that inhibits any visible lights from coming on during IR operations is in the right position and is operating correctly.

I am not too smart on the "safety switch". My rotary six way dial is in the correct position. My interior cold start light stays on as normal so I am not on any interior blackout like a HUMMV would be. I attached a photo of the switches on my panel. I will admit I am unsure what the black button does on the top left.

I'm not too familiar with the MoD Rovers, so yours may not have this switch--It would have a guard that looks like this:

I do not have that switch. I do think though it has to be something simple. If all my headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals do not work it appears it would be some sort of blackout funtion failure. It is raining out today so I cannot do too much under the hood as far as running down wiring.
