Yes, before replacing the switch I will check the fuel pump relay which is driven by the switch and ECU. Last time I had a diming intrument light condition accompanied by no start situation I decided to investigate. Removed the pannel under the steering wheel (right hand drive car) where a number of fuses are. I had started to taken them one by one and noticed that the instrument lights all of saden lighted up. As Anders say when this happens I can start the car.But then after a few starts the condition re-occurred. I was tempted to replace the fuel pump relay, but as I was not sure which one it is, I left the relays in place and hoped the problem disappears.
I had this problem for at least two months re-occurring on me which towards the end was also causing sudden engine cut outs while driving. Until one evening when It happened again I put my hand on the relays under the steering wheel and noticed one of the relays was warmer then I would expect. I removed the relay and as it happened I had a spare one handy. Replacing this relay (which I assume must have been the fuel pump relay) seem to have fixed the problem for good. Three months now on and I have not seen a diming instrument light and starting issue yet.
However, electrical problems are hard to solve. I found the electrical diagram in the Haynes Manual quite informative and can give you a number of clues to areas that you need to test. Hope you find the problem soon.
