Most likely a blown relay rob. I've both a spare set of relays and a light dimmer switch tar I can drop into you at end of march. Btw did that package arrive yet?
have you checked the actual lighter for melted wires? I can, over thd weekend, trace the wiring on the spare central electrics look I've stashed in the garage and visually send you the wiring sequence if that helps?
Cheers Bren
