1996 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

96 Blazer 144000 miles, the other day while leaving work both headlights dimmed at the same time. Slowly flickered a few times together. Now both headlights will not come on. Day time running lights would not come on for a while. After shutting off the truck for 5 min. They started working and still work fine. All other lights ie parking flashers brake ect still work. 1st question. Where are there additional fuse boxes besides the drivers side door? 2nd question. Could this be a the headlight control switch? Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Does sound similar to any other posts? Thanks a Million!

There is an underhood power center. Does it have auto-headlights?

No, it does not have auto headlights. They must be turned on or off. It does however have daytime running lights that come on when put in gear

Figured it out. Pulled the headlight switch and 5 of the 6 prongs were all good ( nice and brassy ). The other one was burnt and corroded. Replaced the switch for a little over 30 dollars at o rilley auto. Dealership wanted over 150 to replace it. Fyi. :)
