Headlights issue
2000 crew cab dodge dakota
I just had the head gasket replaced and now the headlights will not come on.
The parking lights will come on.
If I pull back and hold back the dimmer switch the high beams come on, once i let go the lights go off again.
I checked relays and such. Anyone know if it would be a switch or something else? Im stumped and dont want to waste money on parts hoping i get it right, just dont have the money for trial and error.
Thanks!

what about when you pull it all the way back till it clicks into the high beam position? Does the high beam indicator stay on?

The timing is weird, with the head gasket just being changed.
Since the lights do work on "flash to pass" the bulbs and wiring are intact up to the multi-function switch. It very well could be the headlight switch itself.
If you can pull the connector off the switch, ground pin #6 on connector #1 (the big connector with 14 pins). With the tab at the top and you facing the pins, it will be the 2nd pin from the left, with a light green wire. The headlights should come on, then you can test the multi-function switch.
Hope it helps.
