2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Headlight switch

[Kernel]

A friend of mine just bought a 98 12v and has had problems with the switch when it is pulled out. He only gets headlights and no interior or running lights. If he pulls it out and just before it gets to the first click for running lights it works fine, but all the way nothing. He replaced the entire switch and the same thing happens. Any ideas? Thanks.

No electrical guru's around that could take a stab at it? I know they are prone to burning up and melting everything but what is going on here?

Check and see if the truck was made for Canada. If so, the dash unit has been converted for the US market. I almost bought one that had the same problem.

You've probably already found your fix to this by now, but that sounds like it's a problem in the ground somewhere.
