I am having a headlight issue that is driving me crazy...
It started randomly and has been an issue since. Symptoms are as follows.
Headlight switch. ...
In the off position I get just daytime lights in the front
When set on the next setting parking lights (with the key on) I get the running lights as well as rear lights and amber corners up front.
Then when the switch is on full on, I get no headlights just the parking lights.
High beams do not work on any setting.

I thought it was the switch so I bought a used one that was supposed to be good.
It made no difference same problem...

I can't find a headlight fuse or relay....

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks

Headlight fuse or relay... Better find it.

^^^ This. 94 and back fuse panel is on the dash to the right of the parking brake release. 95+ there's one on the driver's side of the dash. It's in the spot the door covers when closed (I hope that makes sense). 95+ also have one under the hood. It's right next to the brake booster.

Solved

After an afternoon of surfing the Internet I have found the solution.

I learned the headlight switch and high beams run through the switch on the steering column...
One of the wires (blue) had broken from years of putting the tilt up and down...

I could see this being an issue on more trucks as they age...

Thanks for the responses!
