[FC] Bad Igntion Switch?

[Ken Hand]

 As Bryan said check the #10 red wire but also check the battery cables and posts. I have seen them cause as much or more problems than the #10 red wire at the firewall connector.

The ignition switch would not stop the headlights from working, that is the clue as to where to look.

Check the connector at the front left corner of the engine compartment.  The 
main red power lead goes through that connector and often corrodes, some folks 
even bypass it and solder the joint.

bad ignition switch cause me to lose power to the headlights?
