I'm sorry, but can you elaborate on this. I mean, where exactly is the switch? Well, I know, maybe I'll take a picture of my gauge on which the rheostat is mounted and you can point out which is the switch. I just lost my rheostat and the only means by which I can restore lights to my dash are to purchase a new rheostat or do what you said you did.
