Afternoon ya'll,
I got an issue with my head lights.

When my 19 bighorn is on, the headlights and fogs turn on and I can't turn them off. The knob by my left knee has zero effect on the lights. The dimmer switch for the cluster and infotainment center is either full brite or completely dim and scrolling it either direction doesn't have affect on intensity Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum . Maybe a fuse ? I’m guessing because I really don’t know .

Problem solved. Apparently a rock kicked up at some point and busted the fog lense and light. This "opened" the circuit and basically made the system bypass the control module. Dealership wanted $300 to fix the bust light.. told them that I already had the replacement in the passenger seat then they told me they would throw it in for $150.. the part was $40 and three screws. I threw it in when I got home in 5 minutes

Dealerships are crooks but at least I learned a lil about the electrical system on the ol gal today.

Thanks for following up on what was causing your problem. That's one I'm gonna store away in memory. (y)

I went to the dealer for a fog light for my 2008 Big Horn. They wanted $180!
So I ordered one from Rock Auto for $35.
