    Found the problem. It was the ground after all. :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:After crawling under and removing a bunch of zip ties, it was using a V- instead of a ground. Which is why it would only work when the lights were on. Removed that and put it on a bolt and it works like it should now.

    1 broken switch and a broken clip later. Thanks for all the helps guys.

    Now lets see if my OCD kicks in to figure out how to dim those switches, ha.

    Just for closure, I did figure out how to dim the switches. This set of heaters and switches uses 2 grounds. 1 for the heater and another for the switch dimming. They are tied together though. I had to split them up and use the regular black for the main ground - metal bolt and then the other black wire with a white stripe got moved to a V- for dimming. Everything works perfectly now.
