Hey Guys
I posted a couple days ago on the problems I am having. After talking to a few guys they suggested i check the headlight switch.
Does anyone have a step by step on how to bench test this headlight switch with a volt / ohm meter?
Or a schematic of the headlight switch plug?
My truck is a 95 Ranger XLT 4.0 engine.
Thanks
Doug

Couldn't find one, but at $25 most just replace the switch.

Basically it will have a 12volt IN wire that is live all the time, so be careful.

Then it will have Parking light OUT
Head Light OUT
Dash Light OUT << this is on the dimmer control

12v IN would have very very high OHMs(no connection) with any of the OUTs when switch was off.
0 ohms(connected) with Parking light OUT and Dash Light OUT, if switch is in the 1st position.
Then 0 ohms(connected) with all the OUTs with switch turned/pulled all the way

Thanks RonD
I really thought I hit pay dirt when i found this site troubleshootmyvehicle.com. Very cool and very explicit, but it does not show my switch. :annoyed:
But thanks for the response.
