I got in the van today and started her up with no problems.  Then I noticed
that when I turn the headlights on, the lights on the dash didn�t come on
(speedometer/clock/etc.) but my vdo meters (they all usually go on together)
did come on.  When I truned the headlights off, the vdo lights go off as
usual.  I checked the light level wheel and turning it down turns the vdo�s
down but does nothing to the regular meters.  Now for the stranger part.
When I shut the van off, I noticed that the regular meter lights came on,
but turned off once I turned the headlights off.

I should mention I live in SoCal and it�s been raining like crazy.  Not that
I�ve seen water int he van, but you never know.

Any ideas?
