headlights will quit working

[marandall]

installing the headlights on my 79 chevy k-20 and the headlights first came on when I was finished then they turned off after being on for 10 minutes. checked the switch and there was no power present nor was there power present at the fuse but the fuse was not blown. Any suggestions on where I should check next I am at a stand still right now. please help.

     When you said that you checked power at the fuse, was that on the incoming or outgoing side of the fuse ?
     I know this may sound strange, but I work with machinery and equipment that uses all kinds of different fuses, I have run across several different types of fuses that will show continuity across the fuse but will not let power pass through the fuse, also you should always take the fuse out of the holder before checking it with a ohm meter/test light so you do not get any outside interference while testing it.
     I would go back and make sure you check power before and after the fuse to see where you have no power.
