Did some research and not finding anything exactly like my issue, so hoping someone can help me. Seems it is an electrical problem of some sort (YUCK) but having trouble tracking it down.
If my headlights are off, when I push on the brakes, the clock like and radio backlighting dim. Cig lighter light comes on and the running lights on the outside come on.
If my headlights are on, rear brake lights are on all the time, but when I press on the brake pedal, nothing on the dash dims/changes.
I pulled the stop/brake switch and tested it as per the factory manual. Pins 1 and 2 have continuity and when you press in the button, continuity gone. But something is obviously wrong. The fact that it is relate to the headlights and dash lights makes me think a short, but there are so many dang wires under the dash, not sure where to begin!
Any one had this issue? Where do I start? If it is a short, how do I track it down?
Thanks!
