Headlight Switch Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Battery died due to headlights coming on while car was parked. Lights can not be shut off from switch, opening the hood I detected electrical smell. I removed the fuse box cover and noticed water collecting and stains. I pulled several fuses and found three that melted. All this happened after a ice storm followed by a warming up and melting trend the water collected on the fender brace and leaked into under hood fuse block. I replaced the fuse block and all is ok. Though fuses were melted apart they still made contact and easily could have started a fire. I drilled holes into fender braces and redirected the water.

While driving or sitting still headlights go off from seconds to minutes then go on or until I push the dimmer switch sideways not up and down,the dashboard lights and clock go off from seconds or until I push the dimmer light switch sideways not up and down,the engine suddenly quits whether sitting still or driving.

Third time this has happened since new, it seems to happen at twilight as the day is ending. The headlights and dash lights go out. Nothing will get them back with the auto switch on the dash. I have to pull the vehicle over to the side, shut off the engine, restart and the lights will come back on. It has not happened during daylight that I know of and has not happened after full dark.
