Title: what wire dimmer switch on light switch?
Post by: 78_starsky on June 18, 2010, 12:21:44 AM
Hey all,  thought I would ask the ones who know in here before I go tapping into all the wires on my light switch.  what colour is the wire that will control the dimmer settings on the light switch wiring?  I need to tap into it for my gauges to work at night.   or wht is the best arrangement for tapping into it?

I am wiring the lights on gauges to a glass fuse block and dedicating one fuse to the gauges.

thanks
cheers

According to the 78 EVTM, the wire from the headlight switch dimmer output is light blue with a red tracer.  This color is maintained through the fuse block #11 and on to all the instrument/dash lights.

Oldkayacker is correct. The easiest place to tap into that wire is usually at the radio.
