New wiring harness blues 200

"I cleaned the fuse holders and fuses and coated each with dielectric grease."

did u put dielectric or conductive grease on?

if you put dielectric grease on the fuse and the contacts there will be much more resistance acrost the fuses and cause some serious problems. I did this also, not thinking... I thought it was not dielectric grease, so I used it and I almost burnt the fuel pump fuse totally. Thankfully I was @ home and caught the metal burning smell. Dielectric inhibits electrical conduction.
So if it was dielectric grease, remove that as soon as possible.
This might solve the faint lights, but I would also check the brushes in the alternator as the other poster suggested.

take care
