Well, using my handy-dandy multimeter, I get the following, and bear in
mind it's been about 12 years since high school physics: On the 2k ohms
scale, I get a steady proportional range from .001 through .030. A
little bit more and it jumps to 1 (open)

The taper is a hexagon approximately 3/4" tall by 1/4" thick, with a
small round spring loaded pin centered a shade less than 1/4" from the
top of the post.

I'm no electrician, but I do know it makes all the dash lights dim from
off to full on with no problems so far. If it's from 1976, that means
if it's a Jaguar part likely from 1977, so it's either from an XJS or an
XJ6/12. Since the XJS appears to use something similar to a rocker
switch, it may be from the XJ6. According to a Terry's Jaguar catalog,
the XJS uses a different switch from the XJ6/12. Terry's lists this as
as Jag part number 30886. Anybody have access to a Jag dealer locally
that could check it out?
