I figured it's more useful to start a new thread than to keep adding to the Tech Session post...
On my way back from the tech session, my light switch came apart (the back pulled out). I managed to put it back together, but I have no dash lights. The other lights work, and the switch works.
I jumpered the rheostat wires and that didn't help.
So I took it apart. It doesn't look melted or corroded, but I don't see how the dash light connector is supposed to get power. I think maybe some piece fell out behind the dashboard when the back came out.
Until I get a new switch, is there any reason why the marker lights and dash lights connectors couldn't be jumpered together? I am switching my lights to LEDs, so the power draw shouldn't be a problem (I am sure the headlights draw a lot more anyway).
Here's a picture of the inside of the switch, and the connectors.
Thanks!
