Re: Fire Damage Wiring Repair
Please tell us 'what' fuse blows. Even it's location in the panel, then
I can look in my book and maybe see what circuit is bad.
The headlights are 'not' fused so something else is shorted with the
highbeam wiring.

Re: Fire Damage Wiring Repair
That's not going to help your problem with the panel lights. Apart from
enjoying a common power feed at the light switch they're completely
separate.
In previous posts I took you use of "dimmer" to mean the rheostat on the
back of the light switch. Was I mistaken?
Which fuse are you blowing?

Re: Fire Damage Wiring Repair
There is a breaker inside the light switch that blows in case of a short
or overload 'usually'.
There also is a fuse link for the lights.
