99 Electrical issue...
Car running fine with AC on...
Turn on the headlights or parking lights and AC stops and entire dash goes out.
Car still runs fine!
Anyone experience this?

Blower motor and indicator light go out. Dash lights, radio, everything doesn't work. Turn the headlights off, and everything works perfectly again.
It seems like when I turn on headlights something is shorting. As if a wire is rubbed through it's insulation.?
The car has only 56K miles. Always in a temp controlled garage.

Well that fixed it!
There was zero corrosion on either comb.
What was suspect was the contact with the ground stud...
I cleaned up the contact surfaces and that did it!
This Forum has been a wealth of knowledge.
Thank you very, very much!
