From: "AdventureD" 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? ... -- Art Z. 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.

From: "AdventureD" 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.

From: "user9253" 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. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=500862#500862 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aeroelectric-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aeroelectric-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aeroelectric-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
