all of a sudden my parking lights or any accessory lights i have tapped into the quit working.
checked all fuses. there good. i tested the yellow black wire coming off the back of the switch. no power. cut the wire and put a hot 15amp wire to the parking lights wire. all the lights lit. so the switch isnt giving the parking lights there power. but the headlights work.
i have the lights on a toggle switch for now. i just wanted to double check that you guys think its the switch also before i buy one. thanks

 

don't buy it yet, call the dealer n see if the recall work was ever done, if not, free fix

sorry bout all the faces, girlfriends first experience with diesel bombers haha

 

.
i wish mine would get on here.
but she hates them.
"there loud obnoxious, and smell like a semi"
and i say exactly=]

 

i found that the back of your switch will burn ,melt due to bad connections , burns the terminals up and the point of contact, autozone sells the whole thing, for $63.00 new switch + harnness plug and splice 9 wires and use your same ****,you will eventually get to smell your switch burning , i let it ride untill it started getting dark earlier, driving 50 miles home in the dark with nothing but parking, foglights sucks( part #hl157) i think .....

 

2nd on calling the dealer ... thats wat i did ... and its a good idea to call and see if there are any recalls for the truck that hasnt been done and take it in ... that was the first thing i did with my truck

 

no recall. just called them up.

 

Did you have them run your VIN for recall work that wasn't completed or asked them about a headlight switch recall?

 

yep they ran my vin, guy said all the recalls are done. no incomplete ones. he said he never heard of the headlamp switch recall

 

do ya let her drive it? i let mine climb behind the wheel n she loves it now. the first time she drove it some guy in a beamer was tail gaitin her n she was gettin kinda nervous so she turned the whole road black for him. and she's never been the same . she loves the "power" when the tc locks. its quite a difference from that little 4 banger sunfire she drives

 

haha, shes tried, but she dont know how to drive a stick, and my new valair ceramic clutch bites HARD. not the vehicle to be learning on . weve only had our lisence for 6 monthes now. were both 16. ive been driving sticks since i was 12 and ive had my truck for almost 2 years now. its good to be able to drive her all i want
