Heater shut off when I turned the wipers on

Last night I got in my truck to run to the store. I had the heat on defrost and hit the wipers to wipe off a little snow and my heat stopped and started right back. It happened every time I turn the wipers on and back off. Anyone have any ideas what's causing that?
Also I think my headlight switch is going bad. Occasionally my dash lights dim on there own. I just touch the dimmer part on the switch and the get bright. Not sure if its related or not.

That is a feature built into the system so that you can hear the wipers working by turning off the heater. J/K.
SilverSurfer sounds like he knows what he is talking about and has even pinpointed the specific problem area for you. I was thinking a ground or short problem as well.

Hey, Silver, I always loved that NE Pats logo. I was horribly disappointed when they "updated" it.
