After starting the truck before daylight, the lights would come on as they are supposed to. I would then adjust the tilt steering and the lights would go out. After playing with the tilt a little more the lights would come back on and i would drive away. Until once while driving in the dark the lights went out on there own. Also the wipers would flinch when i hit the dimmer switch. *tr
