Rheostat Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: lights problem help, Simon 90' 900 S, Tue, 1 Mar 2005 23:26:47 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
On the dash there is a dimmer switch - it's a little thumbwheel, (but that's from memory). First, make sure that the dimmer switch just isn't turned down. It's pretty well hidden on the dash.
The next thing to try is playing with the dimmer. It's just a simple rehostat, which is a wiper running on some resistance wire. Since they tend to be left in the same position for years, the portion where the wiper touches tends to build up pitting and carbon deposits. SOmetimes just moving the dimmer up and down a few times cleans this off. Sometimes the dimmer needs replacement.
