lights shorting out?

Driving the truck home the other night, I had the crazy idea to let my wife get behind the wheel for the first time. She didnt drive the truck 10 miles before the lights in the cab and the headlights began to flicker off and on, and at one point I thought they had kicked totally off when they were off for about 3 seconds. I started the truck up today and the same thing is happening. I know its not the alternator or a fuse, probably a short somewhere. Have any of you run into something similar before and if so, what was it and how did you fix it?
