And then what? It blow's the fuse again? If so it sound's as if you have a short somewhere.



none of my lights work except the slector light on the column. they all work when i turn the high beams on. i posted this a long time ago and didn't get much response. i haven't checked the lights but they wouldn't work at all if they were blown. why does this work with the highs but not the lows?
Iwill go out on a limb and suggest a new headlight switch, I would have to look at the schematic's for the wiring 1st tho.

To late now my friend. I purchased two (2) today...should be shipping soon. I can appreciate the comment, however here in the good 'ol southwest the heat is a killer. I plan on keeping this truck ('76 purchased new by my father) until they plant me.

That is a short for sure. Try and find the path...and trace it down. Might be an obvious connection...if you get lucky.

Good luck!
