Re: [DML] Re: Rewiring the AC Panel Lights

[Chris Shepherd <chrisau79@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here's an update on that post by me. The addition of the 10 ohm resistor is courtesy of Bruce Benson and this is my current setup. No pun intended.~g~ Well, maybe...... The addition of the resistor dims the lights when on and reduces the heat as well as making them look more like the rest of the lighting.
 

Subject: A/C Panel Illumination

 

Maybe it's time to run this tip again since there are many new subscribers.

If you are tired of your A/C lights being on all the time and the heat

damage this can do to your radio, here's a simple fix. Remove the access panel

behind the passenger seat exposing the relays. Facing the rear you have a

bottom row and a top row. Count three from the left on the top row and

remove it. Save it ( it's the same as some of the others and can be used as a spare).

 

Get two 1/4" spade connectors and a 10 ohm resistor. Put a spade

connector on the wires on each end of the resistor. One end goes in the bottom slot ( closest

to you ) and the other goes in the slot to the right. Before you put it all

back together start the car ( no illumination ) and then turn on your lights

( illumination ). When you have assured yourself that everything works,

button it back up. There is a whole electrical diagram that will tell you

why this works, but it doesn't really matter. The usual disclaimer applies.
