Ok, So, last night on my way home from work my Gauge Lights went out, I didnt think nothing of it besides maybe I blew a fuse. Then, I noticed my Fog lights wernt on, so I tryed to turn my lights off, then on again, BUT MY HEADLIGHTS WOULDNT TURN OFF! I pulled over, and noticed: No tail lights(brake lights still worked), no corner lights, and no fog lights, but my headlights stayed on and I couldnt turn them off, even when turning then ignition off! I checked my Fuses with a test light, and noticed that just my gauge light fuse had blown, but nothing else. The only way I got my headlights to shut off last night was to pull the fuses on those! I was wondering if maybe it could be the switch itself...but who knows.

Please help me out guys! Until I get this fixed there wont be any night driving for me because i dont need a ticket for no tails or corner lights. I have to work sunday night so any help would be appreaciated before then!

Sounds like water in the back of the fuse box. let the truck sit with the engine running and the heater on high. see if the problem goes away.

It sounds like your headlight switch/dimmer assembly could be malfunctioning. That switch distributes power to your gauges and controls the switching of head light/fog light on and off so it would be a primary suspect. Your turn signal arm is a switch too that can spontaneously go bad. I had to replace mine a couple months ago because I got the infamous "phantom windshield wipers". Supposedly, it will mess with the headlight function/turn signal function when it goes bad as well.

Congenital Heart Defect.

Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) are the number 1 birth defect and the leading cause of birth defect related deaths.
Would you like me to further enlighten you? Or would you like to do your own research before you run off at the mouth again?

i was going to ask if you had a plow on thet truck but from the picture you posted i dont see a plow mount so i guess not. sometime some of the relays used on a plow's wiring hareness stick and itr mess's up all your lights.
