The biggest reason this happens is the rheostat in the light switch is worn out. If you replace it it will work. I did this recently myself

look under the hood beside battery, there is another fuse box there. Check all 15 amp (blue) fuses, that cured my light and gauge problem

Yes. When you remove it, there is a little button on it you have to press to get the **** out. You will need to remove the lower dash to reach up under it and get at it

Okay thanks I'll have to get one later next week... How hard is it to put in?? Also could this cause my headlights to not come on right away when it's cold out??
