Hi,

When I switch the headlight on ( only first position) the radio and dashboard display does not light. The sound of the radio work correctly. I will switch headlamp on second position every light (dashboard and radio) works correctly.

Hello,

It sounds like the headlight switch is out. To be sure here is a guide to check for power and the headlight wiring diagrams so you can see how it works and to see which wires to check for power:

Hi Ken and thank you for your answer.
I check both fuse as indicate, they are good and nothing change.
Note that radio and mileage display shuts off only when I switch on low beam.( First position) on high beam (second position) they light correctly.
