RE: 98 Civic instrument lighting
Right. You would have to power it up and use an oscilloscope to see if the pulses are correct. A much easier way to troubleshoot is to go thru the 3 tests in the book to be sure the rest of the car is OK. If so then the controller must be bad.

Well, I was able to acheive my goal. I used the info in test 3 after I determined that the switch was bad.Rather than pay the $95 dollars for the new switch at the dealer, I ran a jumper wire from red to black and have full bright lights (which really aren't that bright). I know this isn't the best wayBUTthis car sits in a high school parking lot and see's more abuse than any car should just from passers by. I want to put make it anice car but that would be futile at this point. Cheap and keep it running. Its days are numbered....
