    Greetings all,
    Recently, I've been having an issue with my 02 GTP 205K. After the car cools off overnight or several hours, the daytime headlights and dash lights will not come on after starting the engine. They headlights will come on if I use the regular headlight switch but not the dashlights.
    I've chased this down to I think something in the main fuse box because all you have to do is barely touch the top of it and the lights come right on. Makes it very difficult to chase. I know there is a headlight fuse in there but there is also one in the dash fuse box right behind there in the glove box area. Are there any other fuses or relays in there that might affect this? I think I'm looking for a connection that's gone bad but I don't have and can't afford good schematics so I don't waste money on uneeded parts.
    Thanks in advance.

    Dash lights are on the taillight circuit. Sounds like a loose relay. Pull it out and reseat it.

    Thanks for the reply stealthee. Is the relay in the fuse box? Going to go try that in a few but I want to add in that the car did something new with the lights this afternoon. When I pulled in the garage which is dark, the lights usually switch to normal brightness. Tonight, they went off when they tried to switch. That's never happened before. After that they would try and switch and I would hear a pretty loud click behind the main headlight switch.
    At any rate, don't know if this points another direction but just wanted to add it in.
    Thanks again to all that reply.
