Try using the tilt column and see if the lights come on at all.... probably a bad ts switch under the column, but it might just be loose.

When did you notice this problem? Did it happen at random or after hard bump or rain ect? I had a very similar problem in my jeep what happened to me was water got in the compartment where all the relays were under the hood while I was off roading. I don't know if this is your problem though because I'm not sure if these trucks have a relay for the lights also when my relay went out so did my radio door locks and windows. Worth a shot though. If all else fails I'd follow the wires checking for cracks and melted wires

Are you running super bright light bulbs, correct me if I wrong but I thought some of those super bright bulbs draw more and are hard on factory relays.....thstd why I returned mine and put regular bulbs in!!!

Did you try the tilt steering? There's a switch right under the column plastic...

so the tilt steering shuts off the lights

I have no power on both head light fusses and the high beam

both sides of the fuses are dead

i can not believe it....

I pulled the tilt steering back and bingo the high and low lights work

so i kept playing back and forth ....<<

they still work

Thank You

I guess i have to remove the sterring column plastic covers to check it out

Correct! It's probably just a loose connection on that switch under there. I was just reading about this, guy said he took it apart, cleaned up the connections and taped it up and it worked fine!
