Headlight issue
Hello,
The other day I took my 1995 1500 out. It sat for a few hours and when I jumped back in it I had no headlights. I had all my dash lights and parking lights. There was no warning to no headlights, no flickering or anything. On my 94 diesel I had to replace the headlight switch and wired it to a relay, so I am aware of the switch prone to failing.
I pushed in on the switch, tilted the steering wheel up and down, and still had nothing. For the heck of it my buddy said shut the truck off and start it up again. So I pushed in the headlight switch to off, shut the truck off, started it back up and pulled out the headlight switch and wouldn't you know it my headlights worked.
Any ideas what happened? I don't want to get stranded some night if it happens again.
Thanks!

I had an issue with my low beams a few years ago...
