The problem was the headlight switch. The bottom plastic retainer that holds the switch together broke and the switch spread apart at the bottom and did not make contact inside.
I disassembled the switch and it was in good condition otherwise. I also removed the small rectangular cover on the bottom rear of the switch that houses another switch for the daytime running light option. I removed the long plastic actuator that turns the daytime running lights on and off, reassembled the contactor and plastic actuator so the daytime running light switch could be set from the rear. I then put a drill bit through the actuator hole and drilled a hole through the back cover.
I inserted a 6X32 screw long enough to come out through the back and put a washer and nut w/ locktite and drew the switch together. I then used a Dremmel tool to grind the washer and nut flush with the case so it would fit through the dash. It works perfectly.
This sounds more complicated than it actually was. After I figured out what to do and got everything I needed it took about 5 minutes.
Thanks everyone for your help.
