Where is the Reading Lights switch?
« on: June 23, 2018, 11:02:43 PM »
We bought a 36' 2002 Monterrey which has overhead lights above both the driver and copilot seats but we can't find the switch to turn them on.  Any idea?

Turn the headlight switch over to dome light.  I think its turn all the way to the right.  This is  how ours worked on the 02.

As Keith notes, those lamps are akin to the courtesy ones in vehicles for many decades.  They are the same circuit design, controlled by rotating the headlight switch fully counterclockwise for on, slightly clockwise from that for off.  And on many configurations the dash illumination dims and brightens with further knob control.

Joel is right I think.  Its counter clockwise.
