lighting problem

I have a 69 f-250 camper specail, my problem is that when the cab lights are connected to the harness the headlights don't work, I have a feeling that it might be a a ground problem, but don't know where to start looking any suggestions?

do the lights on the roof work when plugged in? try a seperate lead from the fuse box to test the harness for the roof. its either a short in that or like you said a ground.

do the cab lights have a seperate switch or do they work off the same as the running lights . also if its the same switch if you just turn on the running lights without the headlights do the cab and running lights both work?
