Chris and all:
Thanks, I'll check the archives. I appreciate the explanation re the
thumbwheel switch working as two separate switches. FYI my radio plays but
doesn't light up at all. Illuminated window switches? Didn't know they were
illuminated at all. Mine sure don't, and never have since I've owned the car. I
did indeed check the fuse, but thanks for the reminder because it's sometimes
very easy to overlook the obvious. I will also change all the little bulbs once
I have the instrument panel out. When I had the FSM out I recall that it said
that there was one bulb that was accessible without pulling the instrument panel
( forget which one they said ) and I changed that bulb and it still didn't work,
so looks like everything is pointing toward the rheostat. I'm sorry to come off
so dense but automotive electrical systems are far from my strong point.
Thanks again.
