Bypassing Dash rheostate
« on: October 14, 2014, 19:02:09 »
Need directions to bypass the dash rheostat. I have done a search and come up with a "0"

The only reason to bypass is the shaft will not turn on the inside of the bake-lite.

 Does anyone have a fix for this problem?

Thanks for your help.
