Hi Jay, I had the same issue with my dash dimmer switch. In the past I used CRC Contact Cleaner on other switch problems and I tried it on the thumbwheel dimmer switch on the dash with great satisfaction. The product is available in an aerosal can including the plastic straw. With caution I very lightly and quickly sprayed a very, very small amount on either side of the thumbwheel center points with the can upright (vertical) and the plastic straw horizontal. After a very short spray I rotated the thumbwheel completely in one direction then completely in the opposite direction and allowed a few minutes for the solution to dry/evaporate prior to engaging power to test the result.
PLEASE BE ADVISED I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY GROUND WIRE JUST TO PLAY IT EXTRA SAFE. I found the CRC Contact Cleaner available in Walmart for less than $5.00. Very possibly NAPA and other parts stores may carry it. In addition if you have any volume switches on radios or other electronic devices that have that annoying static sound when adjusting the volume control the CRC Contact Cleaner may solve that problem also. Please ensure the electronic device is unplugged prior to a very, very short spray burst. Rotate completely in both directions a few times and allow a few minutes for the solution to dry/evaporate prior to engaging power to test the result. I hope the above is of benefit to you and other readers. All the best.

On to the next possible fix, replacing the original battery. Drove the car again for quite a while and the problem is still there. I'll be driving down the road or sitting at an intersection, and hear the click, click, clicking of a relay. If I'm behind someone I'll see the reflection of the lights flickering. This is not a full-time issue. It only pops up from time to time. And it only seems to occur when the parking lights along with the fog lights are on. Should I completely change out the dimmer switch?
