my 99 1500 did that right after I bought it used . It was the high low beam switch on the column.I dont think it was used for awhile. it happened 3 or 4 times when I would switch beams. then it seemed like after a little use it cleared up because it never happened again.



Well, luckily this was the culprit. Being the most simple, it's what we tried first...and it worked! Switched from hi to low a couple times and sure enough the lights came back on. Just like 383'd, his truck is used very little during the non-hunting season, and likely builds up a little resistance (of some sort) on those surfaces. While I kinda feel like a jerk for asking a question that had such a simple solution, hopefully someone else will benefit from it. Thanks once again to everyone!!!
