Is this one of those Daytime Driving Light switches?

Frank

still have no idea whats going on with the car i got a cheep multimeter from pepboys and my dad got the left pod gauge ($10) to see if it is the switch in the pod but its not (now i can start the led conversion ) my guess its a ground i know its not the stereo because it was wired into the fuse box and now that we took out the wires to see if that was the problem and it wasnt so that leaves the other ground points, fuse box, the high beam switch in the column (but i can still use the turn signals ) or a realy that i might have missed i need to go over the relays with the multimeter now that i got it any one want to come over and help or maybe have a late Tech meet ill provide the pizza

Pizza is my magic word, but it'll probably be cold by the time I get there. Could be the switch itself. I would start there. Relays and grounds never seem to be the issue when I have electrical problems, it's useally always the switches. Don't rule those out though.

well i still have the problem and haven't had the time to work on the car considering that i work for the Bridgeport transit authority and with the holidays work has consumed my life but now that i have some free time i can again work on the car yay but just for thanks giving day lol now i just have to figure out how to test them i know i use the OHMS ( the horse shoe looking thing) i have several setting ( 200, 2000, 20k 200k, and 200k) i believe that i have to use the 200 setting and i should get a reading but i dont know what the reading should be i also have a setting where i can apply voltage directly (1.5v and 9v BATT) dont know what one i should use or if i ahve to use a 12v source other than that i have no idea how to test the relays LOL sorry fro the wall of text with no punctuation and thanks for putting up with me
