Hey There Cowboy,
Sounds like a headlight switch to me. You can check it by removing the switch from the dash and plugging it back in to your harness. Find the proper pin on the switch. If you find it is good, I'm sure you have a bad connection somewhere. You did say the lights come on with a jumper.
I hope this helps.

you also might have fried the resistor coil in the switch when the red wire fried. when you pull the switch, check continuity across the coil in it to see if its still making contact. the 66 did that to me once before.
