Default HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My dad passed away and left me a 1992 Cherokee Laredo 4x4.
It runs Great but i cant get the headlights to work! Fuses are good, lamps are good. When i pull the switch all the way out the back right parking light comes on but the others do not. When i turn on the turn signal (both ways) with headlight switch on they will not work. When i turn the hazard lights on all lights blink like should. PLEASE help!

Thanks!
Mike

Oh and i dont have the money right now to buy a service manual! thanks again

Pull your light switch out. I bet it's melted.

I know this happened to my 65 Chevy P/U and 67 T-Bird.

did you check all the fuses or just the one for the lights. also, do you have an aftermarket radio (i promise, it is relevant)

Yep. That's generally the culprit when there are numerous weird problems with the lighting system. Along with the 2 ground wires on the driver's side inner fender near the air cleaner.
