It's running hot because of the battery. For example, some fuses are hot at all times, and some are hot manually with car running for instance. Try wiring the positive to a source that is hot only when the car is running.

SOURCE: I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY. HAVE AUTO HEADLIGHTS BUT

Yes, very common problem. Switch RELAY # 46 with relay # 45 (the two black ones). Relay #46 is the relay for both sides for low beams #45 is the relay for the fan clutch, (same model #). If you now have lights, either clean the contacts really good both in the fuse box and the relay, or get a new relay. New relays are between $25 and $50 depending on where you get them.

Dash lights and parking lights stay on after key is off and dimmer switch is working backwards replaced both headlight switch and dimmer control

the key position has nothing to do with the lights staying on.
That function is controlled by the headlight switch.
Make sure the wires going to it are in the correct location.
Sounds to me like you have 2 wires crossed. (dimmer working backwards)

I have no headlights!! parking lights, taillights,and blinkers all work fine. none of my fuses or bulbs are blown

I have a 2004 ram 2500 and all my lights work except for low beams. It is not in the switch, I haver replaced the switch with no change. This is a circuit problem with these dodge pickups. I haven't firgured out what it is but it isn't the switch. and unless the low beams and high beams are fused seperate, it isn't a fuse problem either. i have looked for a fuse and can't even find the fuse for the headlights. Im lost like you!

Dashlights are dim

I know this sounds trivial, but make sure you or someone didn't inadvertently bump the dimmer switch. If you slide the dimmer all the way up and even past the slight little catch so that they are continously on high and still seem dim, there could possibly be an issue with the dimmer switch itself.

Dashlights and temperature dash lights not working

Turn on your headlights and check to see if your taillights are working. They act as a fuse to your dashlights, its a safety thing

1998 XJ8 Vanden Plas taillight problem

Check the electrical grounds for the taillights. In fact, get a diagram and check all the easily accessible grounds. Many of these are in the engine bay.
