doesn't the headlamp switch also dim the dash lights an turn on the interior light. they're known to get dirty on the rheostat (dimmer bit) and turning the knob to and fro repeatedly can make them work. worth a try.
neil.
Yes, that is on the list to check. I already spun it back and forth a bunch of times and sanded the contacts while it was out. The fact that the light behind the shift selector working when I turn it on leads me to think it's an issue past the switch. I will be checking it while I'm at it just to rule it out any way.
