Okay, so I've looked through some of the other headlight threads but couldn't find a description that matches my issue. So when I first bought the car the lights came on just fine. After a couple of months they started giving me issues with coming on. Sometimes they would come on just fine and then other times if you messed with the turn signal lever they would come on and stay on after that. Eventually I had to do that every time. Turn on the light then mess with turn signal lever and then they worked fine. Now they don't work at all! What gives? Haha

You need a multifunction switch, you may also need to replace the connector too, the bad connection/malfunction melts them.

Gotcha. I was just in here messing around and it definitely seems like you're correct. Thank you as always! Do you know a good place to get one?

What year?
87-89 then 90-93
Check rockauto, I know LMR has them I think with the 'kit' comes with the connector, shop around.
I may have a used one lay'n around, not sure how good the replacement stuff is. Pm me if interested.
