Problem with low-beam headlights. Need suggestions.

I pulled mine out and started messing with it and it started working. I hate that it did that because now when I forget about it they wont work again. I wonder if we could take the whole assembly out of the newer 2nd gens with the little knob you turn, instead of the pull knob like we have, and make them work with our trucks?

My switch was fine. A faulty connection to the switch caused the problem. I fixed that and kept the original switch. bb

billy, what year is your truck? I know the 'old skool' style light switches (like my '96) were notorious for failing/melting/burning/firefirefire due to their inadequacy to handle the current draws, especially later in life. I replaced the one in my '96 and the harness plug was all melted looking. Ironically, the new switch came with a new harness connector as well. Coincidence? nah.. ;)
