Paul,
I dont have the dimmer on the 3 but there is one on the 4.
The 3 just has a on - off panel switch.
Was the dimmer on the 3 an option or did it just come later, after 58?
anyway, I doubt I will ever dim the lights on the 4, but I did manage to get
the switch working as it should.
When we dim the lights on the 2000 Saturn LS, the service light comes on until
we turn off the ignition and restart the car!
So we never dim the lights on the Saturn!
Must be some gremlin there somewhere!
Bob
