    Hey all - tried wiring up a switch panel and I may have screwed something up. Switches work and top LED lights up when switched, but the bottom LED does not come on with the lights. I've also noticed that all of the ratio button backlights and AC backlights are out. May have tripped a fuse or something. Tried connecting to dimmer (used the green and grey wires) see post from Wanterlost Overland (https://www.4runners.com/threads/wiring-dimmable-light-in-aftermarket-dash-switch.5221/) and followed the instructions, wiring diagrams, etc. and double-checked.

    Wondering if I somehow tripped a fuse, but can't find anything about a fuse that controls these lights. Rest of the dash and dimmers work fine ... just center console. I posted a question in Wanterlost's thread too, but thought I start a new thread to see if anyone out there might have some suggestions. Thx.

    Answered my own question ... blew a fuse. The fuse that handles the center console and instrument panel is the 7.5a fuse labeled "Panel" ... guess I should have figured that one out quicker. Anyway, switch panel is all wired up with dimmer feature ... works like a charm now.
