Get in there and do that kind of thing yourself and pay somebody to check
it
and sign it off !

Um, well, it took quite a while to determine that it was a problem with the
dimmer itself.

The circuitry for this thing is just totally bizarre. Rather than just
being a simple rheostat, it's hooked into some transistors, and capacitors,
and resistors -- all for no apparent reason. At first the shop thought it
was one of the transistors, but it blew instantly when they installed a new
one (at no charge to me), so they had to keep digging.

Mumble, grumble. Stupid 30 year old planes. I'm sure the new Cirrus panel
has everything in the dimmer circuit on a single chip, hidden somewhere in
the armrest, or something.
