im not sure? they are kinda dirty.. but the connecter inside the socket looks clean.. just dirty around it. also.. i noticed i have a dent in my hazard light solenoid? if its the round one on top of the square one under the dash..
Well I was thinking more a long the lines of bad wiring/connections in the factory sockets. I'm not much of an electrician though. What do you mean by hazard light solenoid? You mean the flasher?

The reason I ask. is cause I have dipshit friends who instead of buying the wiring harness, just cut out the factory harness, and spliced the wires to the new head unit. This caused many problems with the interior and exterior lighting. Just wanted to make sure you didnt make the same mistake....Sorry I couldnt help more.

alright guys. today i got wind of having a bad or screwed up headlight switch. possibly could be causing my problem. well, i take my front dash cover off.. i notice a black female plug in sitting by the plugins that go into my light switch.. well theres no spot for this one to plug in? any idea what it is? i took my light tester to see if it had power goin to it.. an it did. i accidently touched 2 of the connectors inside together and i blew out my IP dimmer fuse? could i have the wrong light switch?
