Why will the headlights and high beams on a 1986 F150 not go on even though the other lights activated by the light switch do?

I had the same problem on my 87 f-150. You will have to take the dash apart and remove the whole switch assembly. The problem is the retainer on the switch is melted from the heat generated and the wires aren't making contact in the module. I was unable to find an aftermarket replacement but you may find one at a salvage yard. Good luck.

How do you switch on fog lights on a 1998 Ford Mondeo?
The switch that turns the headlights on. PULL it back once for front fogs(if fitted) and twice for rear fogs. This will only work with the headlights on though(sidelights or dipped) OK
Does a 1999 Subaru Outback have automatic headlights?
Yes, inasmuch as they turn off when you shut off the engine and remove the ignition key; and the standard daytime running lights come on when you're driving. You have to switch from DRL to headlights with a switch, though - but in my soob I just leave my headlight switch on all the time anyway.
On a 2001 Saturn Sl2 the rear brake lights do not work even though the bulbs and fuses are okay what is wrong?
HeyKris==It is probably the switch located on the brake pedal. GoodluckJoe I am having the same problem but shouldn't both the top light and the break lights be activated from the same switch? Is there anything else it could be?
Why would the instrument panel lights not work even though the headlights are working on a 1997 Jeep Wrangler?
make sure your dimmer switch isn't turned all the way down. Then check the fuses next.
Why don't a 92 Ford F150 headlights work even though the fuses in the cab and engine are fine and the interior switch will still turn on all other lights?
I had a 97 F150 with the same problem. Per internet advice I removed master light switch from steering column and cleaned the green corrosion. This gave me my highbeams back. Later when I had $100 for a new switch, I replaced it and the headlights have been working fine ever since.

When approaching an aircraft at night should headlights be turned off?
Yes! Pilots are very careful about their night vision, and you -will- upset them if you put your headlights in their eyes. This is not to say that you should turn all your lights off though. You should have your parking lights on, as well as turning on your four-way blinkers (hazard lights) whenever driving on the airport ramp.
What if your 1992 BMW 325i e36 headlights are on even though the switch is in off position Is this the function of the vehicle or is it a wiring issue?
make sure all othe lights are working correclty. if they are, then its very possible, the daytime driving lights are on, the only way to turn them off, is to hook up the dealer scan tool computer to turn them off.
Why do only the headlights work when you turn on the lights in a 1995 Pontiac Grand Am but neither the tail lights or dashboard lights are working?
The dashlights are connected to the taillight circuit with the same fuse so that when your tail lights go out, the dash lights will too and you will know so you won't ride around with no tail lights. Replace the fuse. I did not find this to be a solution for my problem - fuses were not the issue. Following is my solution: I had the lights on my dash and tail lights go out on my 1995 Grand Am 3.1 V6. After much investigation, it ended up being that the turn signal switch had gone bad. I got mine at Autozone - $79.99 for one with cruise, $69.99 for one without. SW860 for the non-cruise, SW859 for the cruise version. It is sometimes referred to as a multifunction switch - however, when I called and asked about that, it seemed as though the parts are NOT the same (MFS was much more expensive). Make sure you specify turn signal switch (that also controls the tail lights, headlights, etc). In order to replace it, you need to remove the cover around the steering column - we couldn't get the lower part of the cover off and subsequently also had to pull the steering wheel (which also meant disabling the air bag), then remove the bad turn signal switch (which also controls the headlights, parking lights, tail lights, etc), pop in a new one, put everything back together (re-enabling the airbag) and then you can enjoy a life of dash lights and tail lights once again.
Why do my Bonneville headlights stay on even when I shut off the ignition?
the lights have a programmer they automatically stay on when u turn your car off, should only be on for a couple of minutes though, that's how the lights on my Bonneville work
Why is your car beeping as though the door is open while you are driving even though all doors are shut?
Usually it is a warning that either you have left your keys in the ignition, or you have left your headlights, interior, or parking lights on. Sometimes, though, the little switch in the ignition that senses the presence of the key, will stick. Reinserting the key and jiggling it around a bit while removing it will often fix it.
Can you takeoff a runway without runway lights?
Sure! You've got your taxi lights to use as headlights, so you can see the edges of the runway and not run off the sides or end of it. I wouldn't recommend landing on an unlit runway, though.
