Default Headlight only turn on in Auto mode?

Hello friends. My headlights only turn on when I turn them all the way up to Auto. Also my tiny inner parking lights don't seem to work either. Turn signals work, and high\lo beams working but only in Auto setting. Anyone familiar with this problem? Pulled fuses but saw nothing out of wack. Bunch of my fuses are over the rating, but that ain't it right?

Guessing you up sized those fuses because they kept popping? Not the right way to address that problem. I don't have the wiring diagram in front of me but basically you'd need to get a wiring diagram and multimeter and check for power at your stalk, then continuity between the stalk and the computer, then the computer and relay, then the relay and headlight, to isolate the fault. Possible that your fried something in the computer by using oversized fuses, but if you're lucky maybe a it's just that mouse chewed something up.

The oversized fused was not my bad, it was the previous owner. I had hell of a time sorting out the sound system mess he left behind. Will updated fuses to normal ratings and check the harness. Thanks for the tip
