Headlight & Turn Sig. PROBLEM!!!
Ok, so heres the deal. Today all of the suddon i went to turn on my headlights and they dont come on, tried the turn signals and they dont work either, neither does the rear window wiper... these are all connected on the same switch so i think it may have something to do with that... not sure.
I cheacked all my fuses, (good).
If i pop the headlights up, (still have the pop ups) and push back for the high beam, that will come on.
But heres the weird thing... When the car is **** off and i turn the headlight switch up to go on and then on the right side of the steering column if i pres the window switch all the way up the headlights and fog lights both come on, and will turn off with the normal headlight switch and will continue to do this if i use the same technique..
Now if i do technique and get the headlights and fog lights on and cut the car on... they'll go off.... which makes me think it may be the starter switch maybe??...
IDK guys... any help would be GREAT.. this car is my dd so i'm open to offers or ideas on what to do to fix this electrical problem...
Oh btw there is nothing i have found to get the turn signals to work...
Any and all help and/or info would be awesome guys.
Thanks!

i used to have a similar problem like this but just with the headlights. there was worn out wire under the driver side fender from rubbing against other parts. when I patched it the problem was solved, look carefully through the wires.

To follow up,(since there was none on this thread), I replaced the headlight relay behind the main fuse box behind the battery. It is the relay under the rubber cover by itself,(the pass side has 4 relays, all for the fans). Had some corrosion on the connection, replaced it, worked great.
