Default Lights/Short Issue

Hi Guys,

I'm not on the forum much but you guys are always helpful. I have an issue with my Corvette and need some guidance. It's an '03 convertible, not Anniversary Edition. Last week the battery died with no warning. It tested with a bad cell. I put a new battery in and a couple of days later it went dead. I found the dash lights were on and the headlights were on. But not all the way. They were dim. Turning them on with the switch on the steering column and they came on full. So there appears to be a high resistance short somewhere in the system. Is there a relay that controls the lights? I'm really hoping there is and I can just replace it..I don't have a schematic for the car and would appreciate it if someone could point me to one. Thanks for the help.

You can download the manual from the Dropbox link in the first post here: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...e-manuals.html
I'll look through it for headlight relay information and post if I find anything.
