WAIT! Are you SURE the 98480-02 is burnt? This is part of the FAN circuits and NOT your lights? But wait again! Here is ANOTHER Link complaining about LIGHTS and this FAN module (who knew!): 98480X Hunter Fan Control Switch Repair (I know, their photo does NOT match your part) IF it is burnt here is a replacement for under $9 https://www.lightingdirect.com/craftmade-4565uf-ceiling-fan-triple-capacitor/p3035848?uid=3035848 It's proper name is: "Hunter Fan model 98480X control switch".

Hummm... how far is your Thermostat from your heater? I am reading your extensive manual but there is no mention of that distance? There was a early mention of batteries? Are yours fresh? Is this a 'new' problem? Has it worked properly before? Then there is this from the manual: The installer can set SYSTEM functions once the thermostat is installed. The default settings are shown in bold in the following list. Options are listed inside the parentheses. Example: the default SYSTEM TYPE is CONVENTIONAL with (HEAT PUMP) as a second option. See pages 28-29 to change these settings. Have you tried resetting your Thermostat?? Sometimes these basic 'onboard' computers get confused... especially true with lots of 'options'... It's a little hassle to get a DIGITAL copy of your manual (I am not a Robot ~ etc) ~ but here it is: Download manual TROUBLESHOOTING begins at Page 68 Anthony

Mmmmmm? You did NOT specify a model number! YIKES, Hunter made SO MANY models with more and more features. No model = no clue. Anthony

light incorrectly wired in and the voltage to the light is being reduce by the resistance in the fan windings

-Just happened...? Or It's been like that since day one? -if just happened then the switch is stuck. Check it out and replace. -If it's been like that from day one after install. then you might connect directly to the fan with out on and off switch...? Check it out and possible need to be re direct the wire. Good luck Mai

It sounds like you may have an electrical wire at the light itself which is loose. You can check it simply by shutting off the wall switch, and the breaker that controls it. Then remove the case to get access to the light and check for a loose wire. The socket, if it has one to screw a bulb into, may just be coming apart, at which time you would need remove it and put in a new socket. Don't do it with power on.
