Help me locate the dimmer switch
« on: July 27, 2012, 09:29:56 PM »
 The drivers side floor was replaced before I got the car.  Can anyone give me some measurements on where the dimmer switch should be located?  Even if you dont have measurements a few pictures would be helpful.

I found this picture. 

Still looking for others.  I was assuming the connector faced the top and the wires went behind the firewall pad.  This looks like they may travel down behind the kick panel?  Can anyone confirm the switch orientation if not the location?

That is the correct orientation wires go on from the kick panel side

It's very hard, if not impossible, to remove the wire connector with the dimmer switch installed.  I found you have to unbolt the switch to unhook the connector...not well engineered, IMHO.
