Same truck ('94 K2500, (7.4L) 454 V8.
Was trying to drive it last night, and about 2 minutes in, I began to smell a faint odor of something getting hot.
A couple minutes later, the headlights started to go out, and that faint odor of something hot started smelling like burning electronics, so I had to turn around and drive back — in the dark with no lights — to where I came from (it was lucky I was with someone so I could follow their car back, or else I wouldn't have been able to see). I found that wiggling the switch would make them flicker a bit, but they wouldn't stay on.
I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, so to get things started, I'll ask concisely and succinctly:
What happened and why, and how do I fix it?
