When we retreived the vehicle, the parking lights were working. It got darker on our trip and we then realized we had no headlights. When the headlight swith is engaged, it kills all perimeter lighting and dash lights. When the parking lights are engaged, they work perfectly. We have replaced all the fuses, the 20A fuse breakers, all the relays (one at a time to see if we could find the possible problem), the headlight bulbs, as well as the door switch itself. What is the next step? My only thinking is that it could be a dimmer switch or a bad wire grounding out in the panel switch. HHEELLPP!! I can't make ANOTHER trip to the junkyard with my husband!!!

Do you have "auto on" lights where they are supposed to come on when you start the motor? This will make a big difference in solving your problem. Also, do you have remote keyless entry" Please advise.
