I have a 1997 400 Sundancer DA. I went out the other night and my instruments on the dash weren’t lit. I tried my dimmer knob adjustment and found it didn’t make any difference. Am I missing something?  Thanks in advance

I have a 1997 450, I opened the panel removed the bulbs and cleaned the crossion and they all worked. Since all of yours are not working you could have a bad ground too. To check the dimmer you could jump it (hot to hot) if they light up you have a bad dimmer sw.

If it’s dimmer switch, doe anyone know the best source for a new one. Can’t seem to find one exactly like it. Thanks

The dimmer control on my 2000 380DA was flaky when new.

When I investigated I discovered that the skinny illumination box power wires were jammed into a crimp terminal w/ other wires and those skinny wires had a poor connection.

That wiring was correctly redone and has been fine for well over a decade.

Thanks. Had a troubleshot this weekend. It was a loose groundwire, tightened and fixed now. Appreciate the reply!
