Dimmer Switch

[kcrepairgarage]

Well I got tired of fumbling around trying to find the light switch on my 2024. Decided to go old school, just didn't want to drill a hole in floor. Might install it like that at a later date. Pretty painless process!

I have been considering that same mod. I am also looking to add the old school windshield washer foot pump that is non electrical.

I have not thought about one of those in a long time. Keep me informed how install goes.

That is a very useful modification.
More details would be a good thing.
What you used, how it wired up, etc.

Yessir, let me catch up around here and will post this evening.

I’ve thought about hacking into my harness and making a switch like a car. Off/parking/headlights and adding in a dimmer switch either on the floor or in a turn signal. I’ve looked at the diagrams but haven’t got the nerve up to hack that much harness yet. Don’t mind doing it but don’t particularly look forward to working under that dash. My back hurts just thinking about it. Sure be nice if there was a plug and play option in regards to a harness that would plug into the factory harness. Unfortunately I can’t even find a connector to build one myself which only leaves cutting up the factory harness to make it work.

White - Pwr In
Red - Parking Light
Blue/White - Low Beam
Blue/Yellow - High Beam
I use oem switch for off, running lights, and on high beam use dimmer switch to toggle between. Switch has small hole in it. I used a small allen wrench which releases catch mechanism and knob will come off.

Mines an 18 so the switch is different. Unsure of the wires. Probably different as well. I do have the electrical schematics. Like I said, just haven’t got motivated enough to want to dig in and hack into things yet.

Yes you use factory switch for off - marker lights - dim is not used - high beam toggles between the two. Post above has wire color id. White wire from harness goes to middle terminal on switch. Can't remember rest of schematics off top of my head but will post again this afternoon.

Here is a thread of a gentleman that did it on his 2018 that could possibly be helpful for you.
