Ok well I'm thankful you guys can help out another Mopar guy and well this would be the last electrical problem I see for awhile other then somehow putting new housing and bulbs for my gauges. But my headlights aren't turning on the parking lights work but I cant get high or low beams to work. They are plugged in and I was wondering could I of connected something to have caused this? Also I replaced the high beam switch since badly corroded and red indicator on the dash won't go away even when I keep pushing the switch on and off. Any suggestions would be greatful

Did you check your ground?

Well would the ground be causing all of these problems? Cause I guess I think it wouldn't affect the high beam switch.

Yes, bad grounding can cause these problems,I had a toyota truck with a similar problem.My rear tail lights were not working right and the reverse lights would just come on,and my brake light would come on.all this just for a grounding problem.Found out that my bed had lost its ground from all the rust between the bed and the frame.Had to run a wire from the chassy to the lens assemblies.That took care of all the problems. 8)

two things here

I bet the headlight switch is either not plugged in right or it is toast- circuit breaker inside is open. the parking/dash lights are powered differently.

second- I think your dash isn't grounded well- take a separate ground wire from the back of the dash- metal part- and ground it good to a clean spot on the kick panel of the main body.
