Re: Elecrtical?

Well I found what wire is causing issue but no idea how to fix. Here is what I discovered. Bad switch or why is rear brown wire causing this?

When I have everything connected correctly the dash lights stay on low power, tail lights off and brake lights work. Pull light switch out and can dim and adjust lights but taillights are bright and no break lights.

So I checked all wires on switch. Found that if I disconnect the rear brown wire then dash lights do not stay on but tail lights are on and still have brake lights. When I pull switch out dash lights work and can adjust and dim.

It seems this one brown wire is causing the issue? 2 brown wires on switch. One to front and one goes to rear. Now I don’t have headlights connected yet but wouldn’t think that would cause issue? Wires are just run to the front of truck right now.
