Are the dash lights on as well? if they are, there is a problem with the ambient light sensor (armor all'ing the dash can damage the sensor). if they are not on, its just the daytime running lights. they will only be off if you set the e brake BEFORE you start the truck. once the ebrake is back off, the lights will stay on.

How to find an electrical disturbance in 1998 ford expedition

Normally this condition is the result of a poor body ground connection. Testing for this can be deceiving. At the static(nothing on) condition, testing can show a good ground. However when a circuit is excited, it has a determined resistance and a set current flow. If the ground connection to this or a branch circuit is loose, corroded, or broken wire. This will allow just enough connection to show as being good, but not good enough to complete the circuit with the required amount of connection when energized.

Turning my headlights on blows the fuses to running lights and dashlights

headlight switch is bad, change the headlight switch itsellf will short out, therefore blowing your fuse. turn signals and break lights are on a different relay, therefore they will still work

No brake light no running lights no dash lights if u play with the headlight switch u can get every thing to work but brake lights but when u press the brake it turns your headlights off

Hi,
I'll make it brief( something wrong w/ my ISP ).
You got problem in the light switch assembly, the plastic cam is already melted and failed to push the metal contactors to the contact points. Replace is necessary.
The brake and headlight problem, better check the shorted wire in the relay and fuse box in the engine area, there is a shorted wire that stealing the power of the headlight relay, thus it turns off when you step on brakes.

Recommendation: Better have a tech to check on that, a total check up of the lighting and brake light harness is required, the main harness under your steering must be check thoroughly.

Hope that helps!

On my 98 Catera the brake lights work during the day but when the headlights come on my brake lights stay on ? Also when the headlights are on my cruise control will not work ??? Any help ????????

Your cruise will not work if the brake lights are on just like the cruise disengages when you hit the brakes.As far as the brake lights with the headlights,sounds like there is something crossed.If you hold your breaklights on with your headlights off is there a glow of the headlights or your running lights.If your rear bulbs are the round push in and turn type make sure they are installes correctly.You may have one where the contact on the bottom of the bulb is causing a jump of power from your running/parking light over to the brake light side.Well hope this helps and good luck.

Brake lights dont work, Turn Signals all goofy

First thing i would do is chg. the break light switch, and make sure to chk. all grounds around tailights, sometimes if there is a ground problem it will travel back thru the hot wire to get a ground, witch in turn makes everything go wackey.
