Title: Dimmer switch question - autodimmer???
Post by: popbumper on November 03, 2009, 09:43:06 AM
Buying a new floor dimmer switch for my wagon. Rock Auto has them listed as two types - "with" autodimmer, and "without" autodimmer.  ???

Huh? All I ever recall is a basic switch that turned highbeams on, then off, if you hit the switch with your foot. Was never aware that Pintos had any sort of "autodimmer" feature.

Do I just buy a switch, regardless of type? Will either work? Thanks.

Never heard of a Pinto with autolamps or autodim, thats Lincoln stuff. They used the same floor mount dimmer switch in everything in the 70's, three wires.

Don't need one, just bought a new one and received it today. Just wanted to be sure I ordered the right part. In my world of automotive obsession, all items in my vehicle must be new or carefully freshened, causing years of added frustration , time, and cost (unlike most of you smart guys out there who are happy with your beasts "as is") :P. In this case, I got a new one.  ;D

PS - thanks for offering, however
