Headlight problems
Seems every time I drive my 39’ 1/2 ton truck the lights quit working or won’t turn off. Is is difficult to go to a modern pull switch? Don’t have a horn so it won’t be missed..

Re: Headlight fuse blows
I unscrewed the high beam switch from the floor and just let it hang by the wires, when I press it to change from low to high and back the fuse does not blow…. Wondering if grounding out?
