Instrument panel light

I have a 94 f250 and when I pull my headlight **** to just my running lights the instrument panel lights up, but when I pull it back further for my headlights it all shuts off. I looked over this thing and I got nothing, any ideas on what it could be would be greatly appreciated

Your headlight switch is most likely bad, the plug and wires like to get "Burnt" as well

I'd also say that the headlight switch or the connector or both is your problem. If so, consider installing headlight relays after the repair.

Alright thanks for the advice! Hopefully soon I can do some night fishing.

Let us know how it works out. Also, remember that those aren't running lights, they are parking lights.

i have this same problem just push it in a little bit and both the headlights and the instrument panel will light up, the switch gets a little wore but it has worked for me for years
