Hi. i a having problems with my headlights not turning on. Sometimes they will come on, and other times it will not. while the lights are not working the turnsignals also are not working properly. the side markers in the front both flash as if the hazards are engaged. However the rear turnsignals function properly. while malfunctioning on the dash the highbeam light and both turnsignal lights flash. if i leav the switch to the headlights on all three of these lights stay on.......if anyone has any information please let me know asap Thanks Jason

IIRC the front headlights, running lights and turn signals share a common ground point. I'd start by seeing that is in good shape.
