1977 electrical problem
When I tune my head lights on the motor shuts down. I loose power to ignition switch, lights, and dash even after I turn lights off. Found that when I turn lights off and leave ignition switch on and jump start the starter solenoid on fire wall truck starts and everything works fine until I turn head lights on. I replaced light switch, ignition switch, and starter solenoid.
