New electrical gremlin
Started yesterday. Turned on the headlights, the dash lights didn't come on; everything functions, but no backlighting. I flick the headlight switch on/off a couple times they come on and stay on. Made a few stops on the way home, each time I had to flip the switch at least twice. Tonight I flipped the switch, lights came right on. Drove to the store, turned off the car, dash wouldn't light up when I restarted, tried a few times. One more stop on the way home, tried a half a dozen times, wouldn't light up. When I got home, I decided to see if it lit up with just the running lights. Works every time. With the running lights on, add the headlights to the equation, the dash stays lit until the motors shut off, then goes out; happened 5 out of 5 times I tried it. Headlight switch just crap out? Or think somethin else is possibly going on? I've got a spare headlight switch (didn't see that coming, did ya?) might clean it up and plug it in anyway, see what happens.
