Lost the dash lights 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be 4 volvos on  Wed Nov 27 04:19 CST 2002 [RELATED]

On my '84 I lost the dash lights just after replacing the bulb that illuminates the switches on the console. It took me a while, but it turned out to be the dimmer control to the left of the dash, just above the headlamp on/off switch. I bypassed the dimmer altogether, and now I have dash lights back on again.I never dim my dash lights anyway, so it was no loss to not be able to adjust the brightness. One day I will put in a replacement dimmer, just because I read on this brickboard that the dimmer provides resistance to the wires, so maybe I will burn out my dash light sooner than normal. But so far, so good!)
