Headlight question ?

[david_h_30170]

On my 1989 Ranger when I pull the headlights on, the taillights and dash lights dont come on. I can push the headlight switch in between headlights on and parklight position everything works properly. I have replaced headlight switch,and the plug going to headlight switch. I was told it was a bad ground and I have check all the grounds I could find. Has anyone experienced this problem ?

check your fuses (dont just assume they are fine).

if the headlight circuit fuse is blown, the headlights will still work with the switch halfway between park and headlight mode.
