Subject: Hot light switch-should I worry?
IP: Logged

Message:
I've noticed that when I put the headlights on the area around the light switch gets fairly hot. I mean that when you touch it you would stay: "that's hot".

I have a 2000 Quad cab 4x4 sport

What's the story?
I don't dive the truck that often at night.

It is an anti-icing feature found only on Dodge Trucks !

Seriously, mine does too so you need not worry.

IS it the dimmer part that gets hot, have you got the dash lights turned down?

mine does the same thing, it is the dinner area that gets rather warm and i do use the dimmer feature. i assume some sort of resistor back there is heating up as the dimmer feature is used. not the best design but i guess nothing to worry about as it seems "normal".
