The attachment shows what I was thinking.
1. Both switches off -- no lights on.
2. Map Light switch on, POT off -- Map Light on full bright.
3. Map Light swtich off, POT on -- POT controls brightness of both lights
4. Both switches on -- POT gets no juice, Map Light on full bright.
Thoughts?

Have you considered asking your wife to take responsibility for keeping her
car in operating condition?

Yes. I have. As I'm sure you all know, every choice has its costs,
trade-offs and consequences. =F0=9F=98=89. I'll suggest that and Sebastien'
s list of
choices to her today. That should be enjoyable. =F0=9F=98=8A
This isn't a huge deal. I've just been looking for a simple solution, and
it is indeed to save me trouble, not so much her. I'm trying throughout our
lives to make as much of them as possible "maintenance free."
This is just one more incremental step that I'd like to work out. It's only
happened twice in the last year or so, it's not really what one would call
a chronic problem. But in this house, I'm the AAA, and it's far easier to
prevent a problem than to solve it.
As I get older, I find automatic solutions more reliable than my own
memory, let alone hers, but I know there are certainly other ways to deal
with this one.
I could use a Google calendar reminder, etc., for sure. But I also like the
idea of an actual condition monitor, rather than just a time-based one. And
I enjoy learning what is available for things like this as technology
progresses.
I appreciate all your constructive suggestions. I'm sure it will get worked
out.

This may be your problem, not her problem.

Jeff had a good idea. Below is a schematic of his suggestion.

The problem is my Map Light rocker (already in the panel) is a single throw double
pole switch. I should have mentioned that. I think my diagram works given
that fact.

If you use the 2 position switch, move the other light from switch terminal 5 to
terminal 4. The other light will always be controlled by the dimmer regardless
of the switch position. The map light will either be full bright or controlled
by
the dimmer but never off.
