I am working on a friends 1990 Barth on a Spartan chassis. My problem is the headlights/tail lights are not working, I have checked and there is no power going into the headlight switch (I assume they are positive switched headlights), however there are two loose wires that have 12 volts on them (believe they came disconnected) My problem is I dont know where to connect them to since there are several open terminals on the light switch. In the wiring schematics the headlight switch terminals are labeled as A,B,C, ect....the light switch that is in it is labeled 1,2,3 ect.

Does anyone know which terminals I need to connect these two loose wires too?

Welcome to the forums!

Pictures of the switch would help, as would the coach model (Breakaway or Regency). Most Breakaways use the headlight switch from a '70s Buick, and that uses a plug (quite pricey) to connect to the switch, not individual connectors.
