[Chrysler300] 60-62 dash lights

["Bob Merritt" <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I learned two things recently.

1) if you work under a dashboard your IQ immediately drops in half.

2) the lamps over the transmission buttons and the heater buttons are 
connected to the dimming rheostat of the headlight switch.

I had a transmission push button lamp that did not light.
I found a broken lamp (#1816) and replaced it.
It still did not light.
Neither did the heater lamp.
The key switch lamp did light and that threw me off (see note 1).
Eventually I learned the key switch is not on the dimming circuit but the 
transmission and heater lamps are. I removed the headlight switch and found 
the dimming rheostat was toast.
A replacement switch solved the problem, although to replace the switch I 
had to work under the dashboard again. I wonder, if you work under a 
dashboard twice, does your IQ...........?
