I unplugged the control module to see if the switch was the problem and they stayed on. They did. As far as the wiring i have checked but cant find anything that stands out.
Any ideas on how much this would cost to get fixed by a shop? Wiring scares me a little to do myself.

Most places charge by the hour, I think $35-65 an hour is average. It sounds like somebody really did a number on it. Are there any switches you dont know what they do? Maybe PO wired in a toggle switch?
Good luck...

You know, this pass **** is getting old. I dont mind contributing money for land management but I wish they would make one stinkin pass...

So, one nw forest pass per vehicle, wether its a tow rig or Jeep right? I know we've all gone over this before but all I ever use is a discover pass so I cant seem to keep it straight.

Q. Where will I need a Discover Pass?
A. The pass is required on state recreation lands and water-access sites managed by Washington State Parks (State Parks), Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). These lands include state parks, water-access points, heritage sites, wildlife and natural areas, DNR and WDFW campgrounds, trails and trailheads and all DNR managed uplands (natural areas and trustlands, but not aquatic lands.


You need the Discovery pass for DNR managed land.

You need the Northwest Forest pass for all usfs campsites/day use sites etc.

http://vtrail.com/fees.html

User Fees
There are different fees collected depending on the jurisdiction of land you are traveling on. So it is always a good idea to check on the fees beforehand.

National Forest Service made their system simpler in 2000. Northwest Forest Pass is required all-year-round for parking within 1/4 mile of trailhead on National Forest land. Annual pass is $30; day pass is $5. Golden Age 50% discount is available. The Pass can be purchased at these locations. The Pass is not required at all trailheads. Please refer to trail description for the information and/or check with the local ranger station.

Forests in the Pacific Northwest also have days when Northwest Forest Pass is not required at all sites. You would not need the Pass on the following days:
Earth Day, April 22
Mother's Day, May 14
Free Fishing Day, June 10
Smokey Bear's Birthday, August 9

You can also do volunteer work with
Backcountry Horsemen of Washington (360) 427-9342
Iron Goat Trail (206) 283-1440
Volunteers for Outdoor Washington (206) 517-4469
Washington Trail Association (206) 517-7032
to receive daily (one day of work) or annual (two days of work) pass.

National Parks also have Entrance Pass program that is valid for all parks. Every park also has fees for special activities, so please check the following links or contact park offices direct (telephones and addresses are provided on every park's web page).
Washington State Parks
Mount Rainier National Park
North Cascades National Park Service Complex
Olympic National Park

Overnight camping and camping permits are required in some wilderness areas, comparing to other, where only free registration is required. Make sure you study the map of the area you plan to travel and check with local administrative offices, for you very well may end up your hike in Wilderness after starting in national Park or Forest.

For campground fees and reservations please check the following web sites:
Gifford Pinchot NF Campgrounds
Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie NF Campgrounds
Mount Rainier NP Campgrounds
North Cascades NP Campgrounds
Wenatchee NF Campgrounds
