Dash lights and Radio lighting goes out when Headlights are turned on. Also intermittent tail lights working.
Replaced Dash Cluster On/off switch. Replaced wiring block that attaches to switch. Brown wire from harness is a bit frazzled and wiring block melted around Brown connector. Lights may return briefly with a bump in the road but then go out again. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Rua,

Seems like a connection or contact problem.
The melted connector terminal might not be providing enough contact, clean and tighten to see if it helps.

Has headlight switch and relay been checked?
