Standard Ignition Instrument Panel Dimmer Switch P/N:DS-942
Set the glow of your gauges just the way you want it with the Standard Ignition Instrument Panel Dimmer Switch DS-423, the control that adjusts the brightness of your instrument panel lighting. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1985-1995 Chevrolet Astro, 1985-1995 GMC Safari and 1985-1994 Chevrolet S10, and serves as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
If your dash lights stay dark, won't dim, or flicker as you adjust them, a worn dimmer switch may be to blame. Bulbs, fuses and wiring can produce the same signs, so diagnose the cause before replacing. If the original switch has failed, DS-423 replaces it.
