light switch isnt working

[Jordan_n]

sooo tonight all of a sudden my headlights didnt wanna turn on with my switch, the corner lights turned on and i kept trying to fiddle with it then all of a sudden my corner lights wouldnt turn off and my headlights wouldnt turn on so i had to drive home about 12 miles trying to hold back the light bar for my brights to stay on and shift , can you say f'ing fun?

was curious if anyone else ever had this problem what was wrong, just the corner and head light switch?

did you check the fuse?

fuse is good, i'm kinda p.o'd so i might just replace the entire switch all together tomorrow

ok so I havent had the time to get to this till now, I will be replacing my headlight switch and was wondering if anyone has had to do this before? or does anyone have any tips or suggestions?

as it looks i may have to take off the airbag then unbolt the steering wheel. Hopefully I find a better way and it just comes out with a few screws but I doubt its that easy.

Dang that sucks. I broke my windshield wiper's switch and haven't fixed for like 6 months. Mainly cuz i'm not sure what to do but i'm holding it in place with some shoelaces. If you find out how to do it you should let me know. Good luck with your headlights though.
