Flickering Lights

okay, after about ten minutes of driving down the road, all a sudden my lights will go out then come back on then go out. On the light switch i have it pulled all the way out cuz if i pull it to the first click no lights will come on but if i pull it all the way out then they will,, but when they start flickerin i'll hit the high beams with my foot and they will stay on, but then i loose tail lights and dash lights, idk it pisses me off, i always change the blown fuses but i dont have a diagram so i just stick wutever fuse i have

dont know your problem but when you pull out your switch...first click is parking lights, full pull is headlights with parking lights.

My guess is the light switch. I had 85 that did the same thing and that was the problem with it. The problem was easier to find on mine when it started throwing sparks when it was pulled out
