Hi guys,  Has anyone ever had a problem with their dimmer  switch?  Can they 
short out internally?  My alternator is  discharging only with the lights on 
and after I've used the dimmer  switch. Riding along at night I put the high 
beams on everything is  OK...switch to the regular lights and they go dark and 
I 
have to play with  the dimmer to get the regular lights back on.  I took the 
dimmer off  and made sure that the connections weren't touching the floor when 
I press the  dimmer.  I also wonder why it wouldn't just blow a fuse if it 
did short  out, I ripped every wire out of the car and installed a Dan Masters 
harness a  year ago and I know it's the electrical system is rock solid.  It's 
not  discharging all the time, it seems like it only does it after I run with 
the  lights at night and after using the dimmer switch.  Thanks for your  help.
