hello everyone i have a 89" chevy G20 custom with a 305 cub inch engine, when i turn on headlights the engine shuts down as well as interior lights and dash, however the parking lights come on, it will also shut down if i toggle the high beams control ( high beam/ turn signal controller ) thanks everyone for any suggestions

 

btw i forgot to mention prior to this happening we had to jiggle ( high beam/ turn signal controller ) to get the headlights to come on !

 

anybody ?

It sounds like your multi-function and ignition switches are malfunctioning or are shorting out between the two. Both are located on the steering column.

 

the vehicle whole electrical system burned since then and i needed to junk the van.


a side note for folks with a similar problem, or anything electrical, have the vehicle looked at quickly if you cannot locate the problem.
