Default Electrical Problem / Interior Lights

Well guys im having a problem with my brand new truck. When I first purchased the truck I took it home and when it was dark I noticed that none of the interior lights were working. The dash lights did not work, the vanity lights, the dome lights, push on lights, nor did the bed light work. I took it to the dealership and they fixed it. They claimed it was a burned fuse. Ok. Another problem I am having. Sometimes my interior lights will not work the way they are supposed to work. For instance, my vanity lights will sometimes not work, and when I try to turn on the interior lights manually (by pushing them on) it will not work. When I have this problem, the only way to get the interior lights to work is if I use the master switch (dimmer switch) and put it in the 2nd up position. But even then, my vanity lights still don’t work. Now, lets say I turn the truck off and come back later and turn it back on sometimes everything works the way its supposed to work, even the vanity lights. Any idea what this could be? I found a similar thread on here from another member but I don’t know what his fix was or if he even had it fixed. I just don’t understand how it can sometimes work and sometimes not work. Even my friend, who has an 05 ram was baffled!. https://dodgeforum.com/m_829930/tm.htm Thanks.

Electrical problems are just the nastiest. Sounds to me like bad contact somewhere or a bad switch.

Although reading it over again sounds more like a bad ground.
