However the left side was very dim? I did this with a new fuse installed. If I turned the light switch, it did not cause the probe light to change brightness. I will replace the light switch tomorrow since I have the drivers dash pulled slightly out to gain access to the switch. i also noted that the dash ground is attached. I did note that the light switch has what looks like ceramic/white powder coming out of it. When I removed the switch, it appeared that one side was broken but I'm not sure if it was like this or if I did it while removing.
If the right side of the fuse makes the test light bright but the left side is dim it sounds as if there is a problem with the fuse or the fuse holders depending on if the test light is touching the fuse or the holder ends.
