Electrical problem
1989 Chevy Truck V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

right headlight on dim is lit,however, the bright is glowing along with both driver side headlights. its definitely a short. need to know how to bypass dimmer switch to make headlights work and still have ability to use brights and still keep marker lights and tail lights working together. or if you have another suggestion on how to fix it, please tell me. I dont have the money for a new wiring harness.

sounds more like an "open" than a "short"
check/replace the bulb
and using a test light check that the ground is good.
