around 72 they changed from listing the function to just using #s so you need the owners manual to reference which # does what

A bad dimmer is a common problem.   :grinyes: Even with a working dimmer, the dashlights are often dim.

I replaced the dimmer with a toggle switch, so the dash lights get the full 12 Volts, instead of something less. People usually can't tell by looking in my car.
I got bright lights now!!    :jumping:
