Please help headlights will not come on but my parking lights will work, but the headlights will not come on on my truck, please send diagram or do we need to troubleshoot a module and if so where is it located. Yes when you pull the dimmer switch back the head lights will come on, and yes the fuses have been checked and are okay,
Then the headlights go out I've replaced the headlight switch, ignition switch, relay. Still can't find the solution.

Hello,

It sounds like you have a head light relay or a DRL relay (2nd diagram) that has gone out, Here is a wiring diagrams(below) and some guides so you can do some testing and get the problem fixed. There are several fuses involved with the lighting system, be sure to check them all with a test light
