GOTHALOSISM Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Is there any way to get the dash lights to work if your dimmer switch is no longer working? I tried to run a switched 12v wire to them and still no luck. From what I can tell the reheostat is bad in the dimmer switch. The only lights that work are the blinkers and the highbeam light.

Six_Shooter Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Looking at the '76 FSM, it looks as though the rheostat (dimmer) is placed between the ground and the bulbs, so you can jump the two wires together at the rheostat, or run one side to ground. Easiest to just jumper the wires together. If it's anything like earlier S30s, that I've worked on, the wires may have connectors of a type that you can just plug into each other.

GOTHALOSISM Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Figured it out, when I was under the dash I noticed I plugged it into the wrong connector, every thing works ok now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
