Dimmer Switch and marker light issues 1994 xj
Problem(s): cluster lights out, shifting lights out, markers front and rear. out.
Tests: Checked fuses, grounds, and switch
switch works when pulled out slowly (very small area) but goes out when switch is fully open. when its "working" cluster and rear markers work.
bought new switch at napa, installed fine but no relay click and the margin that the switch worked had gone away.
checked under air box at connection, looks fine.
has anyone else encountered this? what can i do from where i am now?

OK so I have and xj with the tilt steering wheel. I can make it do a complete 360. Like the half with the key has a crazy amount of play. what's the issue?

Pull straight up. You'll probably break a few retaining plastic bits inside but it should be fine. I broke 7 of the 10 and it still stays on
