Thanks for the reply, it would seem that I have a related problem: no running lights. The two seem to go hand in hand, no dimmer lights no running lights. I do have power at the running light fuse, altho I did find the fuse burn and replaced it temporarily with a 5 amp. I have yet to go back for round 3.

Cheers,

NAILED IT!

two wires touching, after disconnecting all light plugs I could feel the blue wire at the left rear of lights (behind panel) getting hot.

Also, intermittent connection at light switch (power dome) connection.

Cheers,
