So i went to go for a ride last night and my headlights wont turn on.the parking lights only do. So i pulled the switch out to see if it were melted underneath. Its perfect no burn marks at all. the fuses are good as are the bulbs. I think the switch may be bad or the highbeams switch may be bad because the highs work when you hold back on the switch but dont when you turn them on. Any ideas?????????

turn signal/multifuction switch or wiring going bad

The Multifunction switches from 87-89 will fit any 87-89 year Mustang, but don't work properly in a 90 or later model. The 90-93 multifunction switches will work in any 90-93 model Mustang but don't work properly in any of the earlier models.

Also, check the red/yel (IIRC) wire that takes feed from the headlight switch to the MF switch. That wire is prone to burn on GT's w/o the fog light relay retrofit.

In my case, the red/yel wire had backed out of the MF connector. I fixed the tang on the connector and reinstalled it in the connector and it was good to go.

Good luck.

No no burned wires it seems like it is stuck between headlights and high beams.. If the switch wasnt working the highs wouldnot comeon at all.

For clarification, I am talking about the wire at the MF switch side (not the headlight switch). And with that wire removed, flash-to-pass still works.
