Headlight switch

Searched and found ICEsomethings sight and just want to make sure that's the right part. The headlights work but the tailights(off the brake) and gauge lights do not work, only things not functional. The part says Wiper/Headlight switch, just want to make sure before I order it.

if your dash/gauges lights + tailights dont work its a blown fuse. check your fuses behind the drivers kick panel. its not the switch. either that or you installed a cd player and grounded the head unit ground wire to the "illumination" wire like a bunch of people do.

The internal relay (sold at my store as a Relay1-Wiper/Headlight switch internal relay) only fixes headlights that do not pop up. It does require disassembly and unsoldering of the main board in the switch to replace.

If the parking lights and dash lights are not working, chances are you have a blown fuse or a failed/burnt headlight switch or bad/burnt headlight switch harness.

So you don't sell the parts to fix that? That sucks, I got excited it was something pretty cheap to fix, doesn't look like it's going to turn out that way...
