Default Drivers side headlight dimming

Hello All,
I have a 1995 5.0 GT. Recently I noticed the Left turn arrow in the instrument cluster still illuminated even though the switch wasn't engaged. This only happens when the Headlights are turned on. I also noticed the fog light switch lamp was still illuminated also, in the on and off position. When the fog lights were switched to on they wouldn't come on. The major problem coming from all this is the driver's side headlight is very dim, if not on at all. I've never seen anything like this. I replaced the multifunction switch and both headlight bulbs. I also removed the fog light switch from the circuit thinking this was the cause, but that didn't do anything. When the headlights are off, everything worksfine. Seemslike it has something to do with the headlights and fog light combo. Has anyone had this problem or a similar one???? Electrical problems are the worst!!!!! Thanks for the help.

check your grounds and chase some wires, something is probably crushed, rubbed through, or melted.. how did the multifunction switch connectors look, ive seen them melt alot.
