my inerior light dimmer shorted, so can anyone tell me what the numbers are on the rheostat transistor (the little black box with the nut on top in the aluminum shroud on the bottom right)? not sure if the '91-'92 is the same as other years, but as for the unit itself, it is year specific. it's really easy to take apart. the dimmer unit pops out of the dash, just get a small flathead to pry it out. after you disconnect it, lift the tabs on the back of the unit and take off the cap with the prongs running through it. after you take that piece off, the circuit board slides right out. it literally takes 30 seconds. thanks!

EDIT: forgot the pic...duh

the only way i see you finding just that piece is going to a junkyard or buying a used one.
