964 interior lights :(
Interior lights don't work at all on wife's 964. Clock itself works, but I changed fuse 11 anyway.. Nothing. Reostat **** on dash does nothing.
Think I have a big job on my hands? Could it be some relay???
Help...
PS: I DID do a search before I asked. Couldn't find anything..

Thanks for the ideas, but neither worked. Not to belay the point, but the overhead light works (It's a Cab) when I open the door and it dings.
When I shut the door the ding stops and the light between the sunshades goes off after a few seconds.
Car starts fine, etc, but the dash instrument lights do not go on when I turn the headlights on/off, etc. They don't even work when I turn the key to the "on" position w/o starting motor.
The lights that don't go on are the instrument lights. IOW it doesn't matter how I rotate the reostat ****...nothing happens. However the clock itself (not the clock light) works. The clock and the instrument lights all work off Fuse #11, which I have changed twice.
I don't know how many bulbs light the instruments, or how to get at it or them. So I guess it must be the bulb(s), or the contacts on the little light **** on the dash.
Armed with that info does anyone have any more thoughts. I hate to bring this to a shop if I don't have to.
TIA,
Don

Then it's either loose wires somewhere or the reostat ****. Will let you know what I finally find out. Thanks for eliminating some options.

FWIW, I "wiggled" the headlight switch and the dash light are working now. Checked with a mech and I need a new headlight switch.
