I thought it was just a fuse. I replace and saw it was working so I didn't drive it at night until this week. It did ok one night this week. Tonight it went out again halfway into a 15 mile drive home in the dark. Headlamps, signals, and brake lights were the only exterior working. No lights inside except the radio and the dome light. I stopped halfway home and switched the fuse with my radio fuse. Everything worked for about 30 seconds and then it blew again. I had to take the less traffic way home to avoid definitely getting stopped. I got home and popped in some extra 15 amps fuses I had and tried just turning the switch to parking lights. I could see it blow right away. It's the one in the power distribution box. Could it be the headlight switch? A similar thing happened years ago when the headlight switch failed.
