Sounds like bad ground, check your ground, and make a new one if needed.

I agree check the ground.

one time I had accidently jooked up a wire that I thaught was a ground but turned out to be the dimmer..

this wire will always show ground until to turn on the lights and then it will turn positive. Maybe thats your problem....

that is a good point that I always do just to be safe is to turn on the interior dimmer light as well as turn on the head lights when probing wires.
