    As I trace it out, the dash illumination circuit is the dark green from the switch, but changes to the vrey that goes to the illumination bulbs. If you have an ohm meter, you can test the rheostat, likely from either the red or the black-orange(?) to the dark green. I think.

    Well some success. Lights all work, but I must have a ground issue. The turn indicators are confused. It's wired right, but left is right and right is left...the second time I tested it, it tested fine, the third time - left is right, right is left. Hmmm. Trying to get that done so I can move on to the A/C install. Gonna hang w/the family tomorrow for Memorial Day. I'll get back on it Monday. Happy Memorial Day!
