I did the cleaning and dielectric grease application to my headlight/turn signal switch the other day, but my headlights still act up. When I rotate the switch forward all the way (for the headlights) my interior and back marker lights turn off. Is my switch bad or am I maybe missing something else. I've checked all fuses. Thanks in advance

When my headlight switch went out, it did just that. In the center position everything worked fine. When I turned it to the second position the rear lamps went out. I was travling to GA and was in NC when I noticed the problem. I used elec. tape to hold the switch into place, right between the two positions and it got me to GA. When I shut off the truck the headlight would not go out, and I had to pull the fuses. The next day I went to the LR Dealer in Lawerenceville*, GA and had a new switch put in. It was about $325.00. Check e-bay for one, I have seen them go there for cheap.

Yeap your switch is probably bad I got mine from www.motorcarsltd.com for around $100.00. The unit is really easy to switch out, email me if you need some instructions.
