Cluster dimmer on crack?

So let me tell you what happened today. I was driving around and decided to play with my cluster dimmer (don't ask), I turned it down cause I always keep it on max, but the cluster didn't get any dimmer! Even when I turned it all the way down. I thought that was so strange. So I'm thinking damn, something broke. But 20 mins later when I tried again, it was working! :lol:

I never understood the point of the dimmer, the only times I've ever used them was to have something to play around with when I was bored.

I set mine nearly to off. I hate it being bright inside.

I used it quite often, especially on dark roads with no lights, those Speedhut guages are BRIGHT when they're full on. Even the X i'll turn them down under the same circumstances

I've had that happen - the switch has probably failed - I've had to replace mine... go to a junkyard or post a WTB if you feel like you need to replace it (sounds like you don't care either way if it works)

Lol it's not a big deal. Just out of curiousity, which junk yards to you go to around our area?

There's one in Mississauga, I don't know the street but I know how to get there, then there's http://www.standardautowreckers.com/index.htm. Standard has a much bigger selection but it's further.
