[DeTomaso] dim hazard switch light

[Mike Drew]

Matt,

You fixed something that was broken and now it's working as designed. It's supposed to glow dimly whenever the ignition is on. That way you can find it in the dark quickly. 

It's not a bug, it's a feature! :)

You could always unplug the wire leading to the light (I assume but don't know that the illumination has its own wire?) but if not, I think you're stuck. 

Embrace it, I say....:)
