My headlights will not come on. they worked fine tonight till i shut the heap off. After that no luck. I did smell something like burnt peanut butter coming from the left side of the dash.(electrical). If i click and hold the multi function the high beams flash on and off. Other then that I'm dry of lights. Any clues to get me up and going again?

Under the air box is an electrical connection, unplug it and clean it with contact cleaner, plug back together and see if they work.
I recently had problems with my headlights. I bought a new switch, and they still did not work except the hi-beams. So after a little searching on the net I found this fix.
Hope it works for you.

hey guys thanks. i bought a headlight switch, went to install it but couldn't figure out how to get the old one out. so long story short i played around with the old switch and the headlights work again but not good. Ill check that connector.
