2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Lights Out

[Ramrod]

Driving home last night all of a sudden all of my outside marker lights, interior lights, gauges on the pod all turned off without any sign. All I have is headlights, high and low. The radio works. I just checked all the fuses and relays and everything seems fine. Where do I go from here? She is a 98 12 3500.

Have you looked at the head light switch?

I wiggled it and tried to see if I got any result to not avail. I wonder if the light switch controls all of my side markers, tail lights, front parking lights, cabover lights, all the dash lights. Like I said I still have low and high beams. Does the light switch control all of the lights? If so how easy is it to replace and at what cost.

This will only give you a basic idea on install of new switch since you have '98. Probably fairly similar. The dashs are a little different from each other.

did you check the fuses? I know its a dumb question, but you had no mention of that. . If not, check your relay box under the hood... I have had the same problems, but it was just a fuse. . I also had to replace my headlight switch... that thing was hot and melted! dont let it do that to you!

Charlan you missed the part where Ramrod said he checked the fuses and relays.



Sounds like it has something to do with the headlight switch... either a connection or an interior fault.
