Light switch overheating?
Has anyone else had problems with the rocker switch that powers the overhead decorative lighting in the living area? I noticed the switch plate getting hot on my '01 MADP after having the strip lighting turned on for any length of time. When the switch failed to operate, I pulled it and found it to be burned and the wiring also hardened from overheating. I cleaned the terminals and replaced the $5 switch. The new switch is undergoing the same heat. Any idea on how much current this type of lighting draws...and if this is a common problem?
