when i pull the switch for the headlights halfway all the lights inside flash on and off but if i turn the headlights on all the way only the headlights work and i have no tail lights at all but i have turn singals and brake lights and flashers so any ideas on what to look for or how to fix the problem thanks tom

your switch is probably bad, remove it and clean up the plug and try it again, if that doesn't work replace it.

Hi Thomas, welcome...!

The switch is a poss. culprit., but first, check the bulbs as it's poss. both filamits burned at the same time. And clean out the bulb sockets as they get quite dirty & coroded.

Brakes, turn, & flashers are on a sep. circuit.

(Headlights/taillights are usually energized by the same contact in the switch.)

Have you checked the fuze box.? There may be a sep. fuse for the taillights on that year veh.

Thomas, had you mentioned that info at first..... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Now, this sounds like a direct short, i.e. a frayed wire (+) shorting to ground.
