Default Turn headlights on, all interior lights= GONE

Well I have yet another electrical gremlin! I noticed tonight when leaving work. I turned my headlights on and I had ZERO interior lights on. Even the temperature on my HVAC shut off, as well as my DIC! I turn headlights off and my temp and DIC stuff comes back. I have the car off and open the doors and all my interior lights come on. ANy idea WTF the deal is?

I'd suspect the multi-function switch... Typically that's the culprit.

You're going to be an electrical Guru pretty soon Jon!

FYI I got that RFA in the mail to you yesterday... Now stop trying to get out of meeting me at the Track on the 2nd!

Before you purchase any parts, try turning the dimmer switch in a clockwise direction.Don't ask me how I know.

Yeah, and if you twist it all the way in the other direction past its stop, it'll kill your battery overnight.

I .... really ... dislike ... that ... thing.

I may be laughing but in all seriousness, it is something that is EASILY done! Couple that with how paranoid alot of us are about the electronics in these things and VOILA instant emergency!
