Re: Headlights
I would suspect the foot switch. Unless you've been doing some wiring lately. Try disconnecting the foot switch and see what difference it makes. Something is bypassing the switches. Either you have a short between wires or a switch has failed. Once you figure it out, I would recommend getting a headlight relay. It takes the load off of the switches.

Re: Headlights
were they working fine before, did you change anything in the wiring right before this happened?? maybe the headlight switch has gone bad-do all the lights stay on or just headlights? see if the dimmer switch is stuck- does it push in and out. sometimes bad grounds make weird things happen, make sure the ground wires have good contact. im sure others on here will be able to help you out.

Re: Headlights
Did you ever test your switch?
Have you really been dealing with this for two months? http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=612318 Next time just build on you old post if it is the same problem, it keeps things clear for everyone.
