not your average 5k dash light problem....

i must be special.

my dash lights tend to not come on when i first start the car. glovebox and
rear plate bulbs are fine.  i just replaced the multiswitch (brand new one)
bc i find that, when i pull the lightswitch lever toward me while pushing it
up to turn the lights on, they almost always come on.
after theyve been on a while they come on easier - first flip of the switch
- as if the car (or the circuit) being warm has a healing effect.

so i broke the lever pulling too hard, figured the switch was bad anyway,
bought new one, and problem is unaffected. but the new switch feels so
nice....

can one of you saints out there in audiland give me a couple of quick hits
as to what other fallable doodads live inbetween the switch and the dash
lights themselves? like a relay or something? all electrical doodads are
working okay, as far as i can tell. any tips/tricks/leads are lifesavers as
always.....

thanx,
jim
