I'm working on a car that doesn't have any of the dash lights lit. The headlight switch works, but the dimmer doesn't. How can I test the dash lights by bypassing the headling switch? I checked that the bundle of brown ground wires, from the fuse panel are well grounded. I also checked the fuses and they appear fine.
Any other recommendations for tracking down this problem? -- Rob |

I assume you have checked the bulbs by taking them out one by one and checking them with a spare battery. You can also get a test light and clip one end on the hot lead and ground the bulb. Another opition is to use the bulb holder with the battery and some leads. Check the fuse block with ohm meter across each to check continuity.
