- Wed Jun 09, 2010 8:24 am #199410 I thought i ran across a thread on how to fix the intermitten dash lights caused by a dimmer switch, can someone please direct me to that thread or tell me how to fix it, thanks.

- Wed Jun 09, 2010 8:41 pm #199538 It's actually really simple it just pops out and you pop the new one in....if you havent found a new one yet good luck finding on that works...

I had to replace mine and my new one stays on all the time I can't dim anything my old one only worked when it wanted to!

(psssst... Did you know I'm not a dude?)

- Wed Jun 09, 2010 10:22 pm #199564 i have 3 dimmer switches for sale if you would be interested in one they all work perfectly.

My 95 hatch build for a friend.

- Thu Jun 10, 2010 5:48 pm #199723 Pull out the plug and put a jumper between the red and black wires. NOT the red/blk!

- Mon Jun 14, 2010 4:01 pm #200304 Thanks do you have a D.I.Y, on this?, just not certain how to do it

Stick this in the harness to jump the red to the black wire. Or you can just cut these two wires and connect them.

People need a write-up to zip their fly these days!

- Mon Jun 14, 2010 5:09 pm #200323 I just wasnt clear on what method to use when jumping the wires lol, thanks for clarifying it for me though..

- Sun Nov 06, 2011 10:00 pm #280482 Hey I am having the same thing with my hatch. I did a led conversion on my cluster and one of the bulbs ended up shorting out and melting down since then I have had no parking lights or dash lights. I checked the 10a fuse and changed it out and also put back in a bulb. I did a jumper on the dimmer switch red wire to black wire with a 20 gauge wire still no lights. Is there any way to directly wire up my lights??? Or is there anything else I might be missing?

I think I will just take it to a shop to get looked at I suck at electronics

- Thu May 01, 2014 9:18 pm #345237 Sorry to bump an old thread, but I finally got around to doing this. I used a #10 Spade terminal to jump the red and black wires together. Just be sure not to use the red/black wire.....
