Remove the dimmer switch to the right of the steering wheel and make sure the orange plug is plugged in securely. |

Its a very very simple design switch so you could open it up and see if you can see anything loose/missing. If not, find a wiring diagram and find what pins to bridge to do away with the switch. Believe its the two very outer wires on the orange plug but dont take my word for it! |

i had this issue. and it turned out that the dimmer switch was very loose so it wasnt connecting right. Got a new one from scrappies and never had an issue since |
