Yeah there is about 5 wires that where melted together.... I traced them all the way up where they go into the main wire harness.... I replaced the parts where the wire was melted and that did not fix it.....

I need to find some way to wire around my dimmer switch, and dirrectly interconnect it with my head light switch..... ANY IDEAS!!!!
