I noticed the headlamp switch acting finicky lately. Sometimes the dash lights will turn on, sometimes the headlamps, and it has to be in just the right position for both dash and head lights to turn on. So I ordered a replacement switch ... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/SMP-DS357

But then I started reading about the melting switch:





I guess I will call Chuck Tator, like everyone suggests.

Ok, the suggestion is to check for failed wire and reharness with a replacement switch.

I was having issues with mine. Pulled the lower dash panel and unplugged the plug and saw that it was melted. I found the new switch and pigtail locally at O'Reilly. Rewired the plug and installed the new switch and works great. Its an easy fix, just take your time making sure you wire it correctly.
