Thread: light problem

Glens you were Right! It does sound like a Bad Switch. Looks like I owe you $20. The $10 you gave me plus the $10 I owe you!

I'd think by now you'd be posting with information about what it was that was wrong. Disconnect the switch and see if it still happens. Find the next connector inline and try that next 'til you get to the module that's overseeing things.

Try this and if it doesnt work you will have to check the pigtail then work your way back.
