I have a 98 Durango V8. The other night I lost my dash illumination light. I found out the next day that my taillights were also out. I have brake lights, and turn signals. I have checked fuse 14 on the inside fuse box. It tested good but I replaced it anyway. I checked the 40a fuse under the hood, it also tested good, but I swapped it with a known good fuse just to be sure. This morning I was playing with the headlight switch a little bit and I found that if I carefully push it in just slightly I get my tail lights and dash illumination but now no headlights until I pull switch out fully, and then again no taillights or dash. do I need to replace the switch? Please help , my commute to work is before the sun comes up.

I will be doing that tomorrow. In the meantime, I checked a little while ago, and I still have hi beams when I I have the switch pushed in to get the tailights working, not sure if that makes any difference but at least I can get to work tomorrow without a ticket.

replaced the switch...no good...couple things though...I watched a how to video on replacing it, and they said there would be a bushing under the ****, dint find one...also didnt mention a secondary pair of wires that connect to the switch, which I have....The wiring harness looks like it may be burnt up on the 3 middle pins which I believe one is the tail lamp output.... I guess replacing the harness will be my next move.
