I rarely ever drive after dark, but the other day I had to meet a guy at 5pm to pick up some mowers. I was sitting in his driveway in my tow truck waiting for him to get home and I figured I'd turn my headlights off and just have my running lights on. Well when I turned the headlights off everything went off. When I pulled the switch back out, only headlights. I could kinda get the running lights on if I eased the switch in a bit, but they just kinda blink on for a second. No problem, bad headlight switch...... right? Wrong....... maybe. This morning I got a new switch at O'Reilly's (lifetime warranty),it did the same thing. I swapped it for the other one they had on the shelf (1yr warranty) did the same thing and the potentiometer started smoking on that one, so I returned it too. Got in my zone went to AutoZone, they had to order one, just got home a while ago and installed it.........it did the same thing. I did get a new connecter at O'Reilly's and installed it earlier today. @Selahdoor very graciously made me a diagram of how to make a relay setup for the headlights and I plan on that, but this isn't our regular headlight problem. Thank you for any help! Long live our IDI trucks!!!
I'm not opposed to the idea of 3 bad switches in a row, but that's rather unlikely.
