71 Chally convertible dimmer switch
« on: July 14, 2008 - 03:49:22 PM »
If I turn the switch all the way left (counter clockwise) until it clicks, nothing happens.  Is that correct?  The dimmer works fine with the dash panel lights however.

I have a convertible.  the lights by the rear seat come on when I open the door,  but not sure if the dimmer switch will turn on both of these

You may have a ground issue, the interior lights have constant pos. & are switched on with ground. Check that the metal panel the switch mounts to is grounded.
