Someone put me out of my misery!!!

[Robert W. Rood]

Hi all,

Thanks for all of your suggestions regarding my
dashboard lighting problem. With that said, I
have some good news and bad news. The good news
is that Mike Jez was right, although the switch
itself was OK - it was the connector that was
loose. The bad news is that dumb-ass me
discovered rather after the fact that I could
access the dimmer switch by putting my fingers
through the fuse panel opening rather than
tearing the whole dashboard apart. And due to the
aforementioned ignorance, I ended up snapping the
air-direction vent trying to get it back
together. And the replacement cost for this
ten-cent looking piece? $93. Apparently, the vent
piece comes with the whole dash plate that goes
around the speedometer.

The moral of the story: Don't be a dumb-ass like
me. You'll just end up hating yourself in the
morning.:-)
