Need Help with Headlamps not working

Ok guys, I had something weird happen to me that I can not explain and I was wondering if you could help me out.

So I woke up this morning intending to go to work early. I get ready, go out to the truck, start her up and of course it is dark outside. I flip the switch to turn on the headlights and nothing!!!!! So I spend from 5:15am till 7 am going over everything, checking the bulbs, wires, fuses..etc. Everthing checks out ok. The parking lights work just find, turn signals are ok, brake lights are ok..etc.

So I have to wait till the sun comes up to go to work...ERRRRGGGGg...there went all the extra work that I was intending on getting out of the way.

At lunch I go out and inspect everything again, just makeing sure that I wasn't having a bad morning. Same results, everything works but the headlamps...(now I am getting anrgy, cause I can't even stay late to help get caught up on my work).

So anyways, I just got home, went over everything again and same results, everything works, but the headlamps. So I then reach down and try to flip on my brights.......Hhhmmmmm What the heck, then work just perfect . So then I flick the brights off....hmm nothing . I flick the brights on again, and the high beams work still, turn the high beams off....now the low beams work. I turn the lights off....turn them back on. Now everything is back to normal and working.


What is going on? Is this a sign that my switch is going back?? What should I do????

Kev
