i'd check the globes and relays to start with. if you get a service manual it should tell you which relay it is. or someone here may know. i'm pretty sure its one of them on the left hand side of the battery. one thing you might do is put your ear down there when someone turns them on and see if you can hear the relay click.

Its the circuit breaker, which is along the drivers inner guard, rectangle shape, silver/gold colour, with two wires/plugs coming out of it.
