if you have an aftermarket HU try disconnecting the orange wires. maybe theres a short in the dimmer going to the radio. if not then it could be your headlight switch is bad.

thanks for the info. The headlight switch has been replaced. Not the problem. I will check the other info. you gave me. Basically, it is the running lights front & back....and the lights for the gauges also the warning buzzer for leaving your keys or headlights on are not working.

any help is greatly appreciated.... posted_image

do you have a trailer hitch might want to check your plug in back maybe its corroded. we have had some problems like that up here in MN with all the salt and other crap on the road

We have totally removed the trailer hitch wiring. That did not cure the problem. I am at the point that I will have to take into the dealership, which I hate to do. If anyone has any other ideas, I would appreciate hearing them.

Thanks so much

You didn't mention if you have a new radio or anything. You didn't mention whether or not you checked the wiring at the radio like ss suggested. If so, disconnect the black wire from your new radio, and insolate the other wire that was attached to it. Now put a ring terminal on the black wire to a bare metal surface and screw it down. See if your problem goes away.
