hey guys i just got done putting my dash in my integra, i couldnt find the plug for the dimmer switch but i didnt think it ws a big deal, now my cluster lights dont work, everything else is fine. whats your input? can anyone run outside and unplug their dimmer switch and tell me if your dash lights still light up...thank guys!

 

im looking at a wiring diagram right now and it clearly flows threw the dimmer switch, i just dont want to guess, not sure if it will just be the brightest with not option of dimming without the switch (what i assumed)

 

you need the switch to complete the circuit. no switch. no lights

 

found this out he hard way along time ago lol. like stated it HAS to be plugged in for any of your electrical on your dash to work.... im 99% sure this affects your heater also if i remember correctly

 

ok thanks guys!

 

As mentioned, the "Dash Lights Brightness Controller", [sometimes mistakenly called a dimmer switch] must be plugged in for most dash lights to work, [or the plug needs to be jumped, black to red] it supplies the ground, [through resistance] to the dash lights.

It has no effect on the heater, unless hbcrazy88 means the lights on the heater control panel. 94

 

Explain exactly how I'd jump it and bypass it?

 

Get a paper clip and jump the cables he said
