Most likely these have both a circuit breaker and also a relay. If there is a short (hot to ground), then the circuit breaker will trip causing nothing to happen. If you have a bad switch the relay cant activate because no voltage to engage it. So the first place to check is the switch to make sure that you have voltage to the switch, then voltage away from the switch when in the on position. If no output from switch, bad switch, if no voltage to the switch then you must trace back to the battery source. If further help is needed, just ask, let us know what you find.

fuses are all good, switched relay from a system that i know is working, nothing changed.  checked power to switch, it's good, checked power out of switch with 12v test light and it shows power when switch is turned on and off.  totally perplexed

Does you coach have a ICC switch ? Not all work the same way, but it is worth checking out. Look at this link.

 Did it drink some coffee or tea by chance?

If all else fails, time to look for a circuit breaker, headlights are rarely fused. The circuit breakers are usually small square plugged directly into the fuse panel for chassis. These are after the headlight switch and will reactivate when cooled down unless bad.
