3. Remove the two screws that hold the dimmer switch in place.
4. Carefully remove the dimmer switch from the dashboard. Be careful not to drop it.
5. Disconnect the electrical wires from the dimmer switch. There are usually three wires: a red wire, a black wire, and a green wire.

7. Connect the red wire to the red wire on the new dimmer switch.
8. Connect the black wire to the black wire on the new dimmer switch.
9. Connect the green wire to the green wire on the new dimmer switch.
10. Use crimpers to secure the connections.
11. Wrap the connections with electrical tape. This will help to prevent them from coming loose.

13. Secure the dimmer switch with the two screws.

The dimmer switch should now be working properly.
