Re: Lights

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.

Re: Lights

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
