Could be the switch in the steering column. I had the same problem and replaced the part for a little over $100 from Nissan.

That is correct. You will find that the headlamp switch is the problem. Here's a cheaper fix for you. I paid around $100 for a new switch and later compared the old one to the pile of B12 Sentra switches I have here. The switches are identicle to the B12 Sentra ['87-'90] switches. I was pissed because I didn't think they would be the same. I musy have four B12 switches here. You can probably get one in the junkyard for $10.

I just realized that this thread should have been in the Truck forum. A '93 Hardbody isn't a classic Datsun. Oh well.
