Headlight control module/switch

Hi

I have a problem with my headlights. Somedays, when my headlight switch is in the off position, i still get my headlights running. Other times i have the switch off, all i get are my parking lights. When i move the switch so that the headlights go on, they dont. DO i need a new headlight control switch or is it something else??

Also, my passenger side parking light and marker light don't work. The bulbs are both new. Whats goin on?

Thanks in advance for the input!

Chris

Yes I agree that you may have a headlight switch problem,but I have also seen a relay have bad contacts also.
