Cool F150 Headlights do not always work

I have a 97 F150 small V8 and the headlights do not always come on immediately. I sometimes have to turn on the wipers to get the lights to work. Occasionally, the wipers do not work either. I can flash the bright lights but not with the lights on.

Agreed, gotta be the MFS. My headlights started going out and back on when I used my turn signal. Got new switch, and voila.

Replace Mulit-function switch, it will cure your headlight and wiper problem.
