Can someone tell me what screw controls the dash lights. Please plan info as if you are sitting in the seat and as example (right side, second screw, or left side , third screw) on light switch. Thanks

Yes, It's the light switch, on the right, just rotate the knob part. First make sure it will turn. Then get the car interior as dark as you can & slowly rotate that knob, & you may see the dash light come on. DO it several times & you may get lucky. And most of them stop working after a while. You can get another,,, if you can find one. Or there is a way to "jump" the dash light knob so the lights stay bright all the time.

If the panel lights don't come on there is a 7.5 amp fuse on the back or the light switch. (or should be , mine was missing when i first got my 56)
