My headlights suddenly stopped working. I have marker lights and turn signals. When I turn the headlights on the switch clicks and the dome light and marker lights dim every time it clicks. I checked the fuse, it’s fine. I tried a new switch. Same result.
Please help.

I checked them. They seem to be fine. I’m not getting any power to the high beam switch. I’ve got power at the headlight switch on all wires except the light green which if I’m reading the wiring diagram correctly goes to the high beam switch.

I tried a new switch. Same problem. After unplugging the switch and the high beam switch. I ran a jumper wire from plug to plug and the lights came on. The light green wire is supposed to power the high beam switch from the headlight switch. As soon as I plugged the jumper wire into the light green connection the fuse blew.

I had a problem with my headlights after plugging the plug for headlights back in. The male spade push the female connector out the back of bulkhead. Went under dash to plug it back in.

Thank you for all of your suggestions. Ultimately the problem end up being that the wiring harness I replaced in the dash was also for a charger. One of the unused wires was grounding out.
