Electrical draw, headlights dim etc.
Ugh...Not sure where to start. Issues only occur with my headlights on. The abs light is lit up with the left turn signal and it flashes very quick and light. Bulb is fine. Both headlights are quite dim with the left almost out. Also my fog lights are drained or will not come on, or my off road lights will not. Last night the A/C fan was working but was not cold. As soon as I turn my headlights off everything works fine. Left turn signal and a/c. I have noticed that the prior owner had an air horn setup under the hood. I decided to hook that back up since it had a bad relay. I'm starting to think that maybe this is why it was unhooked since my problems started "I think" after hooking it back up.

Since the problem you have is affected directly by the headlights, id start tracing wiring and checking grounds, a few months ago a friend of mine had a similar issue and it was a single ground wire broke off from the connector where it was attached to the frame,(his lights were dim as well, and wouldnt blink sometimes or only 1 light would light up at a time) id probably use the airhorn setup as an area to start with considering it was disconnected and the previous owner could have pinched some wiring or something causing the problems.
