But I presume that they all show a short circuit to ground as that is what you are seeing from terminal 58d which is the output from the switch?

tbh, I don't know, I was just taking instructions from TB's post on Page 6 of this thread. I'm a bit uncertain when it comes to  electrics and this has me well puzzled

Ok, not to worry. I nearly finished the list but my PC then  crashed and I lost the lot. I have to go out now but will look later.

One thing that I did notice was that it also seems to go to the connector for a mobile phone install. Did your car ever have a mobile phone kit installed by a previous owner? Any telltale signs possibly? Have you removed a phone kit?

The connector is up behind the glove box.

More later I'm sure!  :(

Not as far as I'm aware, but it did have a CCRT700 installed which has a phone integrated into it, but that has now been taken out and the dash lights did work after it was removed

I think the phone wiring is still there as its a part of the loom.

Its unlikely that it could have been damaged, but just trying to cover all the bases as they say!

I`m also happy to cast a glance over a circuit diagram if you have one you could email to me?

Is it possible to get to the back of the socket where switch plugs in, I'm beginning to suspect something behind there, esp as it happened after changing switch.

Pin 9 is the same as 58D BTW

Yes, there's loads of room I've checked, double chacked and checked again and as far as I can see all the connectors are sound and in their correct positions. the loom side of the switch can be pulled out from it's dash holder leaving it free if you get my meaning, I can take a Pic of it if it will help.

Is there a voltage on 58d with the switch fitted?

sorry to sound a bit dense, but how would I connect the multimeter to check that?

Meter set to the V 20 setting on the left.

Black meter wire to earth / ground / anything metal

Red meter wire to 58d (pin 9)

What does the meter say with lights on / off / dimmer / any position of the switch

As no one seems to be able to send me a diagram - can somebody determine what supply and output voltages should be seen at the connector at the rear of the switch?

Lets at least try to determine if we have a supply to be working with ?

TB says the Haynes manual has the circuit on track 1532, I have that diagram that I can scan if it's any help, it's effectively useless to me as It might as well me in Chinese to me :(
