if it is the headlamp switch acting up you're better off replacing it. I've repaired mine but the fix doesn't last. replaced the switches on 2 different trucks (97 and 99). A simple job, 1 or 2 hours but the switches cost about 110 dollars. It is usually the wire to the headlamps that gets loose causing a high resistance connection and heats up enough to burn the plastic. good luck

No, once the switch is turned off the circuit is de energized. A de energized circuit can not be shorted out to create a fault.
Is it possible to bypass the multifunction switch and install your own switch to control the headlights on a 1997 Ford Explorer Limited?
Theoretically, yes. If you take into account the time the time and effort involved (not to mention the chances of a short developing) you would be far better off spending the $100 or so and installing it yourself
How can you repair the windshield wiper on a Honda Civic DX 2000 if it will not stop running even in the 'off' position?
1996-2000 Honda Civics have an inherent problem with the Multifunction switch that controls wiper operation. If the "OFF" position means with the car running, and the wipers turned off, the switch is probably bad. The switch is located in the steering column, and is approx. $250 to repair, depending on where you take the vehicle. If the wipers continue to run even when the car is turned off you likely have a short to power/short to ground in the electrical wiring to the wiper motor itself because the ignition switch switches power off to the wipers when it is turned off. I would suggest taking the car to a trusted garage to get it looked at. 99% of these problems on 96-00 civics are the multifunction switch... If you are mechanically inclined and somewhat patient you could probably save yourself $150 and do it yourself, do some investigating and see if you feel comfortable with the procedure.

Your windshield wipers will not turn off and the horn will not honk on your 2000 Dodge Stratus?
You probably have a short in your electrical system. Also the fuse may be burnt out on the horn.
