Sounds like the headlight switch to me too. Same thing happened to me and thats what it was for me. Blueovalindustries sells a brand new motorcraft headlight/foglight switch for around $50. You may also want to look at the harness plug that connects to the switch and see if it is discolored/has overheated. Blueovalindustries also sells a replacement harness connector that you can solder in with some bigger gauge wire to help prevent the overheating in the future. Thats around $10 bucks and might be well worth it to you. Hope that helps.

yep sounds like the switch is toast. Make sure you get it fixed b4 it burns out any more of your wiring harness. Could get pricey if you dont take care of it soon.[>:]
