Tail light, Parking light, Dash light Problems
My Tail light, Parking & Dash lights are not working right using the headlight switch. My headlights, brake & turn signals do work. I belive that the brake & turn signales work because they do not go through the headlight switch. Let me give brief history of this problem " Headlights work when pulling **** all the way out" running lights--(corner & tail lights & dash out)--all Inst.gauges work,but not Inst. lights. Parking lights do not work at all when pulling **** out to it's on position. If I pull **** out all the way then push in a little bit about half way between Parking & headlight position, I get everything working. I did replace headlight switch thinking my old one was bad but, the same thing is going on with the new one. I did do a search and did not find this issue.Is this a problem anyone has had, Or what should I look for or do at this point to solve this issue. Thanks

Yes it is a new switch. I haven't had a bad new part in many moons, But it does happen. I thought the same as all of you (bad switch). I did get some troubleshooting help from the electrical forum with testing the headlight switch plug. The tan/white wire voltage is said to be a possible cause of these symptoms. Test results did show that wire did not have any volts. I will get another new switch if I get the tan/white wire traced to where it will deliver 12 volts and if the problem is still not solved. I am trying to get a "Good" wire diagram. Chilton book IMO is not much help with this. All help is appreciated & welcome. 92
