does anyone know where i can locate a wiring diagram for the headlight switch in my 86 f350. my headlights work fine, but when i pull the switch half way out, the dash doesn't light up, neither do the park lights. i want to to jump the wires before buying a new switch.

ALSO

When are the yellow lights on the front fenders supposed to light up, this is the first time ive owned this generation truck so im not familiar as to when the should light up since nothing is working properly.

don't have a diagram but the front yellas should be on starting with the first click, or if using blinkers/cautions

might be bad fuse(s) too
