<FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I have a similar problem, I just brought a 03 quad 1500 and every now and then not only does the inside lights go on and off but so does my headlights andthe lights on the dash. I have taken to the dealer but they cannot find a problem. Anyone else seen this problem ? </FONT>

Have you checked to make sure your relay's are all well connected and the wires aren't lose behind the switch?

I'll consult some of the mechanics at the dealership to see if they recommend anything. Do you, QuadRam, know what the dealer checked on?

There must be little problem with big results in your headlights switch unit.As I know,you can activate the dome lights in the ´03 model, too. isn´t it?If so, there maybe two problems: 1. The complete unit isn´t ok, because there is a shortcut in the platines. I bet they didn´t checked it inside and (Murphy´s Law) they hadn´t any problems during their search.2. Remove the switching section yourself and check every single cable on scratches in the insolation.They´re really packed together, so the chance of sticking together and rub each other is great. A problem after thisthree cable-strings (Headlights/domelights/dashlights)is uncommon, cause their´re splitting in different ways.The only hot spot in this case is the switching unit or the next 15"along the cable-string.

Let me know,please, if I´m right.</P>
