Dim interior (instrument) lights

[rickk]

Maybe it's just me going , but my interior lights (I mean the cluster backlight, ashtray, etc.) seem to have become much more dim than they initially were.

Anyone any ideas what's causing this? The dimmer switch going out or?

TIA,
Rick

is the switch turned up all the way (not being cheky, it has happened before ), and how is your alternator?

The dimmer is the headlight pull nob...... Turn it.!!

I only just learnt this recently!!

Install some thing called Grounding Cables

Some might call this snake oil, but it has worked for me well

cheers

Hehe, I know the knob can be turned to dim the interior lights - I always impress new E30-owners with it

And the alternator is fine...

[johnono]

flick it from side to side quick quick, mabey its got dusty or summin.,


then after that we can go into risistances and curcuit plans and stuff (cue brian mooore )
