As for the dimmer control, yes, it would be in the cluster in that car.
Ok.. I took the Gauge Cluster out and I put my ohm meter on it. Maybe someone can give me some insight as to whether these results are good, bad or indifferent.
Below illustrates looking at the rear of the PC-Board where the dimmer is.
A
________1
________2
________3
________4
B
A and B are the main poles of the dimmer switch, and 1-4 are the aux.
A-B have continuity, and read .2 ohms.
1-2 have continuity, and read .4 ohms.
(These readings do NOT change when turning the switch either up or down)
None of the others ring out, or read any resistance.
I traced the #2 to Pin 4 on the connector on the top left-hand side (looking at the front of the gauge cluster). Pin 4 is a Red wire with a White stripe and 2 silver bands. This reads 4V to ground when the car is on, and also when the car and lights are on.
I traced the #3 to Pin 5 on the connector on the top left-hand side (looking at the front of the gauge cluster). Pin 5 is a White wire with a Red stripe and 2 silver bands. This reads 0V to ground when the car is on, and also when the car and lights are on.
If you need more info than this, just point me in the right direction. Again.. I appreciate any and all info on this -- it's scrambling my brain.
