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.
