Ok i have an odd problem, all my lights work including headlights, blinkers, hazards, brakes, reverse lights etc. I was driving down the road when my dash board lights went out, the ones you can dim. I later found out that my running lights and tail lights went out with the dash. Checked the fuse, replaced the fuse. I tryed 3 other headlight switches all did the same thing. Now if i pull the headlight/running light knob out very slowy, there is a spot that the taillights and dash light comes on, and i can leave them on. Making me think that it is not a fuse problem, nor a issue of them getting power However since this is in the middle of pulling the knob out the headlights have not yet made contact and do not come on. I need both to be on for night time driving. I also had a shop cut the old harness out and splice in a new one thing maybe it was the plug. Anyways it still does the same thing.

Were all three switches the same make and did they do the same thing?
