1998 S70 T5 All Dash Lights Flicker/Turn Off and On Randomly Topic is solved

Checked the fuse, looked fine, sprayed some Electrical Cleaner Spray on the fuse, didn't help. But I do think that there is a 95% chance that something is loose because if I push the brightness toggle up and keep my finger there, all the gauges work flawlessly until I let go, same with if I kind of shift/wiggle the whole button to the left and again hold it in that position. What should I do???

Replace the light switch rheostat with one from a pick n pull.

Looked for new one on FCP but couldn't find it. Dimmer or rheostat?

Aren't the rheostat and the dimmer the same thing? I should replace that button? How do I get it out?

Same thing. I tried searching both terms with no luck. Pull the part number of your old one and try that for a search term if you want to buy new

Thanks so much bro! Got a switch at the salvage yard and it works perfect now
