Some lights won't dim. If you've installed the switch properly, and are using traditional incandescent bulbs (not flourescent, LED, E-L lights or any other very low current light), the dimmer will dim the bulbs. Make sure you're using a dimmable bulb and that the dimmer is installed properly.
no
It is the terminology given to differentiate the dimmer switch from a three way dimmer switch. It is a replacement for an ordinary lighting load switch when you want to dim the lighting load for aesthetic value.
Compact florescent do not dim. They are all or nothing. You can use them where you have a dimmer switch. They will come on from about half way to full on. Dimmer switches don't like them and the switch will burn out faster.
Yes it can.
Your headlights may not dim because you don't have dimmer lights. Dimmer lights can blow and leave you with just the high beams.
Check the light dimmer switch to see if the lights go dimmer or they stay at the same brightness. It sounds like the dimmer switch is either stuck or bad.
If none of the lights dim (including dash lights, speedo, etc) the dimmer switch is probably bad.
Its the dimmer switch bad.
A device to gradually dim the brake lights after they are held on for over a set period of time.
It is either on the floor or the turn signal stalk is the dimmer. Push, pull, or push in to dim the lights.
you can not put a normal dimmer on a florescent light. You need to install a dimmer made for flourecent lights and they are expensive about 50 dollar around here. If you want to dim it put a normal incandescent bulb in the fixture.
If the dim lights are continuously staying on there may be an issue with the dimmer switch. The actual switch may be jammed in the on position. Check the switch with a voltmeter and see if there is continuous power coming from it.
Have you checked the dimmer? I have a 2000 and there is a wheel to dim the dash lights to the left of the steering wheel, just above the cup holder.
If it is a specified Dimmer light wich is made to dim is done by switch. But Normal lights dim because power else where is being used and the light dims to give the other aplliance the power.. Its nothing to worry about.. or your house is Haunted...
Try replacing the headlight switch, it has the dimmer built into it.
Yes there is. You simply twist the tachometer reset nob counterclockwise to dim.
