It is under the throttle and choke knobs. I found a switch on line that shows it as a dimmer switch. I also have a standard dimmer switch on the floor. What is it? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | dash light switch, one position is dash lights, one is map light, 3rd is off Bill | | | | | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 82 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 82 | thanks.

Is this because they are 6 volt. Also, where is the other light socket supposed to be?

No other wires that i can tell will have to do more investigation. Will get meter out and bend my back to determine what is miswired or not wired. | | |
