Did somebody suggest a larger fuse?
Bill and I both said the dimmer switch was the problem. Replace the dimmer
switch.

Re: Dimmer switch problem? Problem Resolved
Switch replacement corrected the problem. Thanks for all the input. I
tried cleaning the terminals first, since one or more posters declared
the replacements to be junk. The original lasted over 20 years and
190,000 miles. If I can get half of that out of a $6 part, I'll be more
than pleased.
