Hi Justin,

Just out o' curiosity, try holding the switch between the 0 (off) and 1 (park light) position for say two seconds before letting it go all the way to 
position 1.  While your at that mid-point, the computer might get brighter and the dash lights shouldn't come on.

I'm just wondering if you have the same problem as me.  I think there's a short somewhere in my dash :-(

Perhaps someone else on the list has BTDT.
