I know the older 126 cars are potentiometers that directly connect to the power. The 2nd gen 126 cars are actually PWM controllers.

I think, "just-n-time" reffering to the KE- mass air flow sensor's potentiometer.

I just jumper it on the cars where it fails. 100% power is barely bright enough as it is.

Is potentiometer made by Bosch? P/n 3 437 224 035?
If new potentiometer made in China - it is, unfortunately, a bad deal. |

He's referring to the rheostat dimmer for the instrument cluster and dash lights. Usually the left most knob on the cluster.
Early unit are simple rheostat potentiometer. Later versions (at least in 126) are PWM control units. They're backwards compatible too!

Interesting, if they're PWM they should be able to dimmer a set of LEDs

Not necessarily, they are likely too slow and you'd end up with a strobe instead of steady lighting. An LED responds to pulses a lot differently (faster) than an incandescent....

From what the scope says, it looks like the PWM controller outputs about 160 Hz signal. Here's the datasheet on the IC: http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/stmicroelectronics/1408.pdf I had some random 2V, 20mA Red LED sitting around, I threw a 500 Ohm resistor on it and here's the result. It does indeed dim... With better/brighter LED's you could probably achieve a better result. For wiring reference: Video, I didnt see any strobing effect when I filmed this:
