Thank you everyone...it must have been a wierd deal.  I went out this
morning to leave (pre-sun) and plugged my switch back in to turn the lights
back on...and nothing.


So I guess I was just "lucky" to have this happen while I was driving.


I guess it is time to upgrade to the relay!!


Thanks again,
Tom
