20% off code valid until 2/24/2012

After resolving my issue, I gave some kudos to their customer service and got an email from their VP of Customer service: My name is Max Rossi and I am the VP of ...

Re: No Illumination on '95 850 Instrument Panel

I had the same problem and didn't want to buy a new dimmer switch (outrageously priced from the dealer!) I looked around the forums and found a wiring schematic.
