headlights stay on

Need some input:<br><br>Got home last night after work, and my headlights wouldn't go off after I pushed the switch in. Pushed the switch on/off a couple of times, and same thing: head lights would stay on ???. It was late(11pm or so) and I was tired, so I just pulled the fuse. <br><br>Went back this morning and re-inserted the fuse, and the headlights never came on, like last night. Started her up, and when I pulled the swith on/off , they would go on/off properly. <br><br>I'm thinkin the problem might be in the switch contacts(staying connected). <br><br>Any other input ????<br><br>

Re:headlights stay on

Not sure if your truck has DRL (daytime running lights). We have then in Canada since 1990. If you do have DRL, then the DRL module is ^^. <br>The headlight switch could be having issues. If the switch is hot and you smell burnting wires.... the fix is recall 819 which is a new switch with a relay. Supposed to be a recall for 1 tons only, but you can install CAJM8190 youself.<br>John
