bad switch

ok get this guys.. when i go to shut off my lights by twisting the button to the off-position, my light still are on. Then I'll have to literally play the **** back and forth to get the lights to shut off. Any of your HO or SO do this???

mine is a 04.5 HO............


what is wrong????

I'm taking it in for the dealer to inspect, but thought it may have not only happened to myself..anyone else???

Hey why don't yo fill out your truck info so we can HARRASS you even more
Try reading the OWNERS manual and then you would know that that is a NORMAL function of the truck

Turn your lights off before you turn the truck off.

Ouch.... just tell the man his lights will go of in a minute or so. Nice feature if your trying to see to get into the house!!!

If you take it to the dealer, he'll tell you that you shoulda bought a Hemi??

I have the same thing happen on my truck. It seems if I flip the switch to off really fast the headlights will stay on but the parking lights will go off. It's happened about three times so far. I just had to turn the lights back on and then off again. It started happening after I was messing with the headlight switch before I put my remote start/alarm in. Have you done any electrical work to your truck at all.
