JustGav Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Sounds like it could be the dimmer circuit... Get a loan one and plug it in, and see if it works, or there is a way of jumping the pins to go full brightness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovervi Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 When my dimmer went it blew the fuse and all these went off, i replaced the fuse and it then just stayed at full brightness anyway even though the dimmer didnt work anymore i would try replacing the fuse even if it looks like it hasnt gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 wel there has been no fuse blown so looks like it is probibly the dimmer switch there is no heat at the dimmer switch how ever, how would i jump the switch if i was to by-pass the dimmer switch? how do you you wire the three wires?

Not sure mate, I got a replacement dimmer switch off a kind person off here, think it only came to about £5-£7 including delivery so i personally would get another and save yourself the hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jaz Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Snap. My dash lights stopped working and it was just after I adjusted the dimmer controls. Luckily the previous owner (pistonbroke on here) helped me locate the fuse box near the accelerator pedal!! Yep the 10amp fuse had blown. After replacing it, it blew again. So it's the dimmer. I have ordered one from Jezz on here who sells spare parts for a tenner and paid using paypal. Q: In the mean time - does anyone know how to access the dimmer cables or bypass it in the mean time!?! I don't care if the dash lights are on full - I have an indiglo dash with separate dimmer... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
