the only way to put something in its place would be another switch of sorts.. just get another dimmer switch.

take the 2 mins it takes to phisically pull and look at each fuse to see if it might be bad. I am always amazed when I do that, then go back to the manual and find the fuse that was blown listed nothing with the problems I was having.

Don't forget the box under the hood by the batt.

It is also covered in the haynes manual, with pics and everything you need. I recently replaced min with cool-white leds and it made the cluster blue.
