Question Headlights not working unless blinker is on!

This evening I drove home from work and when I pulled the headlight switch only the the lowest lights came on. No headlight at all. I put my front fog lights on to get home.
Here's what's happening.
Pull the headlight switch to the first position and the small lights come on and the green light indicator lights up on the dash.
Pulling to the second position and no extra lights come on but the green light on the dash goes out.
Pushing the indicator stalk and the high beams don't activate, pulling the stalk and the high beams flash.
Here's the kicker, with the headlight switch pulled out to the second position, when I turn the indicators on either left or right the low beam headlights come on!
Sounds like a cross wire, or some contacts need cleaning...
Can anyone tell me where to find the points I need to look at and how to get to them?
Thanks"

Check out this thread and the link in post #2. Sounds like it might be the problem you're having. Also, if you haven't installed the headlight relay, I would recommend doing so. Pelican sells the relay (part # JWST-911-HLPR).
