head lights no worky

[bigblockpaul]

In my 93 150..Pull the headlight switch and no headlights.....Once in a while it takes time and they will come on.....Problem started with the high low switch on the column.Click to high they would all go off.....Which one should i put in first......Also how to pull dash apart to get light switch out..

I would replace the multi funtion switch on the column. Common ford problem.
The power for the lights and the turn singals and the highbeams all go through the multifuntion switch.

[RustyLX]

Take the plastic cover off the column. This is possible with out removing the wheel. Then remove the multi fuction switch and replace with new one.
Simple.

[RustyLX]

[bigblockpaul]

i would say before you go shotguning parts at it to fix the problem, i would pull the dash apart and get at the headlight switch, if its similar to the ones that are in 94-04 stangs after time the plastic part which contains all the wires on the back of the switch will melt and cause issues, i had this issue on my 95 stang, whole back of the switch was melted, replaced the switch everything worked like brand new, just make sure you check out every angle before you drop 70 on a multifunction switch

I first looked at the light switch and could not even get it out from the dash.....

90% it's the multi function switch, Paul. Like someone said, it's a real common problem.
In either case, good luck,bud.

Had the same problem on my 94 Mustang GT. I bought a repair harness for a 93 F-150 and soldered it in and everything worked fine after that. Didn't even have to replace the light switch.

Went tp upull and learned how to pull the dash apart..Ha Ha.....got both switches and the column one was not the problem it was the headlight switch on the dash...But thanks for the help....I also learned that the truck wont run with the tank selector unplugged.....????

[Chrm97PI]

yea, thought the headlamp switch was the problem, was it melted??

[bigblockpaul]

not the switch but the connector is starting to melt....Hopefully will work till i buy my Power stroke...

[Chrm97PI]

yea, should work for a while, atleast until it gets way hot again

[bigblockpaul]
