Mine started doing the smae thing about a month after I bought it. I pulled the gauge cluster surround and found that the whole plug to the light switch was fried. It is realatively easy to fix if you know how to solder.

As was said above - it is probably the light switch - it's a very common problem. Replace the switch AND the harness that goes to it. It's about 18 inches long, and the cause of the switch frying.

Do some searching, and you will come across a write-up that Icemark did about installing a relay in the harness to avoid future problems. I recommend you do that mod - it works like a charm!

Definately switch related. Get a new one and wiring loom.
