My caution light knob glows a little when the headlights are tuned on. I thought this was an indication of a short. But in my winter project thread, I saw this:
QUOTE Zach, correct me if I'm wrong; but shouldn't the caution light knob illuminate dimly when the light switch is activated? So now I am confused. Can anyone clear this up for me? Am I chasing a short, or am I chasing a ghost? Zach |

Not sure what you mean by caution light? Alternator dummy light? Should not glow unless there is a problem w/ alt. charging ect.. I doubt you have a short but maybe an excessive current draw or failing alt., voltage regulator ect. Mine never glows it di lite up like christmas when my alt. failed like a screeming banchee..
