MG Midget and Sprite Technical - rheostat

hya all. where is this located. i still cant get my dash lights to come on. is there any way of bypassing them so they come on with the headlights

UK cars don't have a rheostat, only a panel light switch - far left.

remove the two wires from back of the panel light switch, the left of the three switches, and join together and tape well. You then have a spare switch for when your heater fan switch finally gives up.

rather than do that make up a very short lead with male spade connectors at each end then use this to join the two wires together thus taking the switch out of the circuit

doing it this way means the panel lights are on when the side lights are on and that the wires can easily be reconnected if you replace the switch

or if the switch works you could use it for something else
