Yes my 39 Deluxe has a light attached to the clock, yes I get it the clock light and instrument lights are in parallel. Currently my clock light stays on 24/7 as long as the battery is energized/hooked up, looks like a direct hook up to the battery. When I turn on the parking lights or headlights, the two dash lights do not have voltage feeding them.
I guess my question is to turn on those mentioned lights, you need to manually turn on the light switch on the steering wheel and the reostat just controls the dimness?
The wiring diagram ( that I submitted ) shows a toggle switch downstream of the reostat, that’s all, if it’s part of the reostat they should incorporate that switch in a dotted line along with the reostat part, you know like a electrical schematic. At least in my trade HVAC it shows it that way on wiring diagrams.
