1995-98 Instrument Light Dimmer

According to the Electronic Parts Catalog the P/N 4438255 Rheostat, Instrument Lights was used on late 9000s and nothing else. While driving the instrument lights in my 1998 9K turned on and off intermittently. I have a spare dimmer and this situation occurred when either of them was installed. I disassembled both, rotated the 47K pot back and forth several times and reassembled them. One works fine. Although the bad one works better than it did previously the instrument light intensity still changes on its own and/or turns off and on when I hit bumps. To me it appears that the pot needs to be replaced. Has anyone had similar experiences and how did you solve the problem? If you replaced the pot where did you get it? All responses will be appreciated. Thanks.
