Rheostat Light Control
Rheostat light control changes instrument cluster, A/C-heater control panel, and clock illumination. Automatic light control sensor varies instrument cluster illumination depending on outside light levels. Tail cancellation refers to turning rheostat light control clockwise beyond moderate position, causing lights to illuminate fully (100 percent) and system to ignore automatic light control sensor. To diagnose system, check symptoms in table. Refer to RHEOSTAT LIGHT CONTROL SYMPTOMS table.
