Thanks Tom! I did look it up in the owners manual and the Helm but I wasn't sure that my analog brain was gettin the point!
It seemed to me that I was somehow interpreting the books incorrectly! I would have thought that the dash would go brighter if the ambient light falls off? I just didn't want to start taking things apart, especially the dash, if I was missing the point!
Thank you very much for sharing your info with me!
Tom
