Do the interior lights come on when you try the “courtesy” switch on the headlight switch?

Anyway there is a broken connection in the white wire near the connector located behind the left shroud.

When you see fog or “running” lights on in good weather beware. WLow performance driver ahead.

How bout those nitwits too scared to drive without headlights in the daytime and the nitwits that need headlights for a little rain

Take a look at the connector as noted in post 3.

It’s a 4 pin unit.
