Go towards the light.... is it dead?

My 69 panel truck pulled a weird one on me last night. I just got the thing running good, so I thought I would test the lights and blinkers, etc. The factory AM stereo rocks! (not) the dome light works, dash lights work. I tried the low beam/high beam floor switch (for the first time) and everything seemed kewl.... BUT.. now any time I turn on the lights it immediately KILLS the engine! BTW I have to start the thing by jumping across the solenoid at the starter (the solenoid is new). So, is it the switch (dead short)? what do some of you electrically inclined guys think?
