ok thanks, i talked to one of my friends and he said the same thing about the switch. could the switch go bad because of to many running lights on the truck?

ya its possible dodge didnt wire those switches up real good, too much draw on it will cause problems, i put a high wattage headlights in my truck and the extra power draw melted some of my wires, also heard of trailers with alot of lights causing the same sorta of probelms with the headlight switch, putting relays on your headlights works out pretty good, takes a big power draw off the headlight switch
