Hi Guys
First off Im only new here and unsure were to go so im posting this post here and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
My VP had some issues with the RH Side Light switch from normal ware and tear, so naturally i look on eBay and found a new one with the cruse control functions included on this as well, SCORED !!!
However when i turn on the lights of a night time the: Headlights are on, the transmission lights are on, everything else works lovely except the main cluster were the Speedo and Taco are located.
THIS IS NOT LIT UP AND VERY HARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.
Have taken to an auto sparky to confirm everything else is still working accordingly and are mind boggled why tis could be the case.
Then it occurred to me that the original RH switch i believe had the dimmer function installed on it.
NOW THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE ONE.... DUH
So I ASK... If I find/Install a LH Switch that would have the dimmer control could this solve the problem and will i get my lights back or would it be a simpler solution and just find a light that is illuminating and some how piggy back off it and connect it to the place where it is not immulinating and would that also solve the problem, or can you offer a suggestion to try and fix this problem
I await your kind guidance.
