Hey guyz.. new to forum but though you may be able to help.

I have a 1993 Cherokee and my headlights are acting funny.

They will NOT turn on when running (running and dash lights are fine).  Although i can still flash brights.

If key off with light switch on than no headlights.  If i flash my brights than headlights start to work fine and stay on.   But, as soon as i turn the ignition key on they go off leaving just the running lights on.  Weird huh?

NOTE:  i also have a Auto Page remote start installed (been in for about 2 years with no issues).  If my headlights are on than I start with remote start the headlights TURN OFF.  Soooo.. that kinda rules out the ignition switch as it's not physically moved.

The first time I noticed this I was able to get headlights on by switching headlight switch off and on a few times... no luck now.  I'm leaning towards switch failure or just needs to be torn out and cleaned up.

Any suggestions??  my head hurts
