great video, could help me out and tell me what part number the ‘pigtail’ connector is? I have found the switch to be manufacturer number DS-561, but I cannot seem to reliably find the part number (or where to order) the wire harness ‘pigtail’.

@briandd27 sounds like your charging system might be over charging. Check alternator before your battery explodes.

I have a 4WD 96 Chevy S10. My lights (both the interior and exterior) pulsate. While they pulsate I notice the needle on the volt meter jitters back and forth between the 14 and 19 readings. Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong with it?

Dave Matthews says:

I have a 98 S10 and replaced the headlight switch 3 times in a month..The dash lights come on for a few seconds then go back out.. I think I need the wiring harnass but very hard to find..The chevy dealer found one but it was $1000.00.. And the junk yard doesnt have a 98 S10 for parts.. Do you know where I can find just the end pieces so I can splice them into the wires? I need a 9 slot female end the peice is about 3inches wide and less than a half inch thick..

datacadman says:

Mine does that except it goes from high beam to low beam? And it doesn’t always do it, to make it harder to troubleshoot.

I was wondering if you would know how to replace the ignition switch on a 95 Chevy c1500? I figured our trucks wouldnt be that different.

rickleephillips says:

I have an 83 Chevy pickup that I’m having problems with the twilight/blisters with they are working correctly there is a jumper wire installed on the neutral safety with from the purple wire to the green wire of the two connections. Do you know correct way these lights are supposed to be connected and work

rwoods2k says:

great video, no nonsense, just facts. I had a 97 s10 that did the same thing, after watching your video I was able to repair my problem. thanks for saving me from having to pay for labor. I appreciate the time and effort you put into creating this video.

kwhite471 says:

yep same here. Now I can turn on my low-beam running lights and it usually stops flashing, but it then has very little light. And the interior lights do not work.

kwhite471 says:

Dud e that is so awsome. Mine is doing exactly the same. 96 I hope that thing works easily.
