METER / GAUGE SYSTEM Meter Illumination is Always Dark

DESCRIPTION

The combination meter sub-assembly receives signals from this circuit to adjust the illumination of the meter. The combination meter sub-assembly sets the illumination level based on the user operation of the light control rheostat switch.

Tech Tips


  • The meter illumination level can be adjusted by operating the hazard warning signal switch assembly (light control rheostat switch).

  • The meter illumination dims when the light control switch is turned to the tail, head, or AUTO position at night.

  • Setting the meter illumination to maximum brightness cancels the above dimming of the meter illumination.
