high beam indacator

well guys try this one!!! when I turn on the head lights my high beam indicator stays lit in the dash and the head light beams go a little dim (BUT NOT BY MUCH) I have replaced the bulbs and the switch on the dash! I have not replaced the dimmer switch yet I just figured I would throw at the board and see what happened. Anyone else have a simalar promblem.I told it might be a ground. I dont know I will change the dimmer switch and see what happens.Just thought I would see what opinions you guys have. thanks

That dimmer switch would be a good start. I had a friend who's '78 F-150 did that same thing as well. It was his switch.

I hit my high beam switch one night while out snowplowing and everything went black.

After checking fuses and just about everything else, it turned out to be my floor high beam switch. It looked fine, but further inspection showed it was completely rotted out on the bottom.
