I didn't have the opportunity to check other lights, but they may have been affected also. The switch is about 70-80 $$ and an easy install.

-edit- with all the stuff going through the switch, there's alot of things that could be affected.

Hope that helps.
FRED! This is exactly what happened to my 90. However, when the engine cuts out, I can't start it again for a little while. Sometimes a day, sometimes sooner, and when it doesn't start, I mean I get no lights, no sign of ignition, nothing. Go back out an hour later, and I have lights, it starts, and I can take er out again. Could this stll be the switch????
