My low beam head lights(both) have been cutting off lately. Only thing that will get them back on is switching to high beam and back. I replaced dash switch that controls turning on the headlights. It also controls fog lights and dash light dimmer along with turning on the dome light. Still have problem.

Hello,

It sounds like the DRL module is not working right but to be sure lets test for power at the module. Here is a guide and the headlight wiring diagrams so you can see how they system works:

Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) Module in engine compartment, on left inner fender panel.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
