ok so my headlights quit working the other night when i stoped at a friends they where on and i turned them off then went to leave and nothing ....

i replaced the switch (nothing burnt) that i could find and still no lights the fuse is good under the hood as well and my bright light switch when clicked used to light up the blue icon on the cluster no longer does.....this happend to me one other time when i shut my light off and i turned the sswitch off and back on a few times and then they came on....i'm stuck and i work nights and it's my personal/work truck for my night job so i need it....any and all help would be awesome....

also i have HID headlights and i just got my relay kit to put on yesterday and have not even opened it yet so...yea i'm stuck....help!

 

This happened to me the 2nd time I drove my truck. Met my wife at the mall for supper and it was just getting dark as I was leaving, and my lights didn't work! I did what worked for you in the past and turned them on and off a couple times and then they worked, and have worked every time since. Maybe a loose connection?

not sure.....i checked alot but idk

 

i had the same symtoms. only my high beams worked. replaced the multi funtion switch with one from the wreckers (30 bucks) and all was good.

 

I would say high/low switch as well. I came in here to mention the hl switch, as it is a known weak point, but since you changed it without fixing the problem, I'm goin with the multifunction switch

 

so i replaced the multi switch as well....still does not work...

 

does anyone have a wireing diagram?

 

Could possibly be a headlight socket thats curroded and causing the lights to short out and you flicking them on an off like that is forcing the pins to make contact if that maks any sense to you at all lol thats the only way i can explain it.

 

i have mitchell i can problaby get it from there what year and make is ur truck

 

so the cause was fuse box and after-market alarm related, whoever installed the crap *** alarm spliced into the fuse box headlight main power wire and then wrapped it with e tape instead of butt connectors or using a soldering iron to do it the correct way..the alarm grounded out on the steering shaft frame/brace thing and shorted the switch and i replaced it and it smoked the new switch at the connector....so next big task is removing the alarm all together ...now that i got my lights back i'm happy just need to fix the hazard now....def could use a diagram for those. the truck is a 1995 sport 2x4 with the 5.9 360 no daylight running lights
