Default Dash light issues

Hi all, I have a 1998 ram 1500 Laramie. My dash lights won’t come on when I turn on the headlights. I replaced the entire headlight switch and it worked for a little while, then went out again. Any ideas?

It looks okay. Nothing noticeable. Should I look for something?

Sometimes it melts together and can cause problems. But if it looks ok then you are good. Does your park lights work?

You REALLY need a better auto-fil app. I have no clue what that last sentence means.

I always get a kick out of your responses. You phone obviously has a well developed sense of humor.

Hey if it makes someone laugh for a second then it's worth it . It has a broad vocabulary that would probably get me banned
