I have an interesting bug I think and Im not sure where I went wrong. A little background, I was using the interior lighting circuit from the headlight switch (pink wire I believe) that was variable voltage that went to the inverter to light my 3 pod gauges. This was great until I realized that I couldn't dim the gauges with the variable voltage line, and I needed a constant 12+ source.
Well, I waited to long to fix it and I believe I killed the inverter on the gauges, not a huge deal. Well when that happened, the other interior lights on the dash (steering wheel, headlight controls, butt warmer...etc) were VERY dim, almost to the point where you couldn't see them, even at night. Well just today I went in and disconnected the wire that was feeding the broken inverter, expecting to get full brightness again. Well, they did get somewhat brighter, but even at full bore, still not super bright. The circuit seems to be about 4V DC.
My question is this. What is the normal voltage on the variable voltage interior lighting circuit and does 4V max seem too low. If so, any thoughts on where I would begin to find the issue?
Thank you!
