Just went through this myself, you need a new headlight switch, got my at Oreilly's for like $30 bucks. The only trick to changing it out is getting the knob off, there is a button on the top of the switch that need to be depressed as you pull on the knob, and the shoaft should pull out of the switch.

Well done some testing with an wire and i could do all the lighting (headlights,parking lights,gauge lights,dome light ) manually by hooking it to each wire in the plug to the hot wire it all worked made a hot wire to the dome light and it works good better than before more than likely a short cause its a new switch
