Was there a question in any of that? The lack of punctuation, or sentences made it hard to decipher what you're asking of us.

Either the switch aged, or more likely is that you have a wiring issue (i.e., the red/yellow feed wire leaving the switch and going to the MF switch) or you run higher-than-stock wattage bulbs. Other possibilities are less likely.


Inspect the wiring connector at the back of the switch and the wires themselves. Do the same at the MF switch if necessary.

Good luck.
