2011 Tahoe LTZ light switch & 2w/4wd switch hot as heck!!!

[Tristan]

Hey guys I just bought a 2011 Tahoe LTZ about 2-3 weeks ago, it has 478 miles on it so its fairly new. To make a long story short, after a 50 mile trip or so, I went to dim my headlights and the knob was hot. I mean the heat was tolerable but if I hold my fingers there after 10 secs I start to feel discomfort. Is this normal? Feedback is appreciated! Thanks.

i just bought a 2011 tahoe LT and my fog light switch is the exact same way...i guess if it burns/melts the warranty will fix it...

Take it to the dealership. That's what your warranty is for!

It is the bulb not a switch failure. Common on light and 4wd selector switches. Cure is to dim your lights to approximate 90%. You will still see the insturment cluster fine.
