What may be causing my gauge lights to be inop after the vehicle is started. Its a 2001 corvette. When the door is open the gauge lights come on. As soon as you start the car they go off and remain off. Whemn you shut the car off the lights come on again until they time out. Also the fog lights became inop at the same time. Can this be related? The dimmer **** wont dim the gauge lights when they are on, however if its turned all the way it will put on the interior lights

U need to check all the fuses. This could be a bad reostate in the head light switch. You also need to check the fog lamp bulb and the harnass for power at the connecter.
