i have only had this truck since july last year, and i actually thought the headlights were supposed to go off when you tilted the column all the way up
TODAY I WENT OUT AND TOOK THE DASH OFF, then the column plastics and found my problem
there is a high/low wire for each on the switch for hi/low and there is a harness at the column
right there... the problem is that i have not been able to get that harness to release,
there is not the usual "ears" to get it to move but i took a small mirror and have located
where the two wires go.. this was simple
the problem i have now is getting the wires to stay in there after i put them in, i wish i could solder them
but im thinking theres not enough room.
there was a splice and thicker wire was added to the end with a terminal that had been cut smaller jammed into
the high and the low wire socket. I guess this problem had occured before and this was the previous owners quick fix
the problem is that they work their way back out as you go up and down at the column..
im thinking about just taking a two pieces of wire, trimming back 1/4 inch of insulation
and jamming one in each, then i guess (since i cant reach to solder) use some type of
non conductive glue and gluing them in there???? then splicing each wire back to the ones that fell out..
