electrical problems I think
havent been here for a while since I havent had any problems for about a year. My problem is my headlights wont come on with out holding back my blinker lever so only my passing brights work and the switch turns the running lights on fine. This started about 2 weeks ago and I figured no big deal headlight switch went out after 309,000 miles. So I picked up a switch from advanced auto parts (made in tiawon) and it worked for like 2 or 3 days and Ive been to lazy to open it back up, so it was back to holding the passing switch sice i dont drive at night much its not a huge deal but the days are getting shorter. Now on my way home from work last night my radio and AC fan just shuts off so when I got stoped behind a car I tryed to turn the lights on and nothing came on except blinkers, so no running lights, headlights or passing lights. So Im trying to get home before dark and I hit a bump and the radio and ac come back on and my brights work again still no regular headlights though. I did a google search and found this to bee a common problem but didnt find alot of solutions. Im thinking its a bad ground or a short so if you guys know all the ground locations that might be a good start. Thanks for all the help in advance

I could see a bad ground affecting one of those things at a time, but it would seem to me the whole truck would have to loose it's ground for all of that stuff to stop. Maybe try looking into the fuse box below the steering column, maybe the feed has come loose. You should probably check the connections at the battery too.
