Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation
I/P LAMP DIMMER
Voltage is supplied to the I/P lamp dimmer and the illumination lamps when the light switch is in the PARK or HEAD position. The solid state
dimmer controls the amount of ground provided to the lamps. The solid state dimmer is grounded to G200 through the Left INstrument Panel Junction
Block. All of the interior displays are grounded to G200. The intensity of the instrument panel and instrument cluster assembly lamps is controlled by
the I/P lamp dimmer located on the left side of the instrument panel. The parking lamps or headlamps must be activated for the instrument panel and
instrument cluster assembly lamps to be illuminated. When the parking lamps or headlamps are activated, rotating the I/P lamp dimmer
counterclockwise will decrease the instrument cluster assembly, rear window defogger switch, heater control assembly, ashtray and cigar lighter lamps
illumination. Illumination of the radio display will revert from 100 percent to the setting of the IP lamp dimmer.

procedures.
