Unhappy 2004 Dale Jr SS Supercharged

Recently I replaced my multi function switch to fix my headlights. No problem, everything seemed to work fine. Got up this morning to go to work and no headlights. I have tail lights and running lights. I have to hold the lever back on the dimmer switch in order to keep high beams on and I have no low beam at all. Anybody ever have this problem?

i have a similar issue with my dale jr edition... if i turn my highs on all my lights shut off except my fogs and i have to hit the switch a million times for them to come back on. I had the switch replaced and they told me the problem was fixed and ive had it happen to me since then so i have no idea what is going on.

The dimmer switch on my Dale Jr is flaky. A lot of times when I go to use it, I have to pull it back a few times before it will finally click on and the same thing when I go to shut the high beams off. I figure the turn signal lever will have to be replaced soon.

Bambi, do you remember how much it cost to have it replaced?

Well, I've replaced my dimmer switch at great expense and I am getting tired of messing with it. A nice blue neon single pole double throw switch, and an inline fuse and some thhn 12/2 wire will take care of it. I will take it completely off the system and wire it old school, problem solved.
