Headlights don't work 850 1996

We have the headlight switch set to "daytime driving lights" on Arabella, our 1996 850 sedan. I recently noticed that the headlights aren't on in either daytime driving or full-on lights ("night time") settings. Side and rear lights go on in full lights setting. Headlights will flash if I hold the turn signal switch back - the daytime "flash lights" function - but the low beam/high beam relay isn't cycling when full lights are on.

Since the each beam of each headlight is separately fused, and since the "flash lights" function works, I suspect the headlight switch. Before I spend $50 on a switch, is there anything else I should be examining?
