Re: Help!!!!! Please

for your headlights i'd first check the dimmer switch to see if you have voltage going to the dimmer if not then i'd b lookin at the headlight switch
as far as turn brake and parking lights i'd first make sure you have a good ground on all of them

Re: Help!!!!! Please

CDowns and Zoomin have good tips. I would also say check the dimmer switch on the floor for the headlight issue. Check all of your grounds (body to frame, engine to frame, light buckets to body/frame). I had bad grounds on my truck that would actually make my headlights flicker if I hit a good bump or moved the shifter. I put a nice heavy gauge wire between the firewall and frame as well as the engine to frame. That took care of my issue there. I also had an issue with intermittent/dim taillights. A good heavy ground wire from the bed to the frame fixed that problem as well.

I've also seen a bad turn signal switch do goofy things, try wiggling it around and see if any marker/taillights come on.

Good luck, keep us posted.
