Interesting, I believe we had a similar enquiry with an illumination fault from the same region. Conclusion reached was the blanking plate where some models have a dimmer rheostat in place actually completes the dimmer cct.

In short, it also means the harness exists and you can just purchase the rheostat assembly and fit it.

  • the older I get, the faster I was
you probably have the same issue as described in the other thread.
the rheostat wiring is behind the blank on the left side of the wheel. where the immobilizer keypad is usually located.
probably the wiring disconnected because one of the screws pushed it away.
you can easily add the rheostat, I did, its plug and play.
you only have to find a place for the keypad.
