Hello! Just purchased a 2000 wrangler today, but it has a problem .

The headlight knob isn’t turning on the headlights, and the indicator lever yields nothing so no blinkers.

When I pull the knob out my dash lights dim, but head lights don’t turn on. When I pull the lever for the high beams no indicator light on the dash turns on.

The hazard switch works and flashes on the fog lights and rear brake lights.

I live in the Caribbean so wire deterioration is a possibility, just curious if it’s a simple switch that needs to be replaced or if I need to start chasing down grounds.

Thank you!

The first thing I would check is the fuse. Next I'd pull the headlight switch and checkout the connections to see if they're rusty and corroded.
