Usually when you hit the dimmer switch and the headlights go out...the fault lies with the dimmer switch.
There are several different types. While the trucks used the same one for many years, passenger cars used several different types.
Prior to 1960, the switch is not the same.
Did you buy a new switch and if so, is it made in CHINA?
5U2Z11654A .. Dimmer Switch (Motorcraft SW6480) / Available from Ford / 5U2Z-11654-A replaced COTZ-13A024-A.
A faulty headlight switch can cause this also. When the lights go out do all the lights go out dash included? If so I would change the headlight switch.
yeah it is from china and i now think about it ,i have bought faulty new parts before.thank to both of you for slapping me in the head when i needed it.i should have thought for just a second longer before warming up the old keyboard.
