Hi Phil,

It is probably the dimmer. Before you replace the dimmer, check the light in the shifter for damaged wiring. A short there, or anywhere in those lamps that aren't working will take out the dimmer rheostat, especially if someone's popped in a 16A fuse where the 8A belongs.

You might just tie the wires together on the back of the dimmer, bypassing it. Who needs to dim those lights? Well, some have said they do. Been discussed before here.
