My headlights won't come on, but they will open. My front turn signals won't work, but the hood signals do. And my flashers won't work , front or back . Suggestions?

How is the wiring? Old? New? Are the bulbs new?

Start with the basics. First check the bulkhead connector for any loose or corroded wires. Pull off the connectors and give them a good cleaning. Then follow the wires up to the lights to see if anything is disconnected or corroded. After that check the wires up to the headlight switch. If everything looks good and they still don't work you could have a bad switch. 

As for the flashers, the flasher unit under the dash could also have gone bad. Swap the 2 of them out and see if that changes anything.

You say the front turn signals don't work. The juice for those and the headlights come from the headlight switch and foot switch, Start with the latter, see if you have power going into the foot switch. If you do, your headlight switch may be dead. Have you ever noticed it being hot?
