So I recently picked up a newer dash piece for the driver side that included a new headlight and dimmer switch. The originals in my truck were severely in need of some updating and the plastic screw bosses were completely blown out (they used machine screws with nuts all they way through the dash to hold the switches in and JB Weld on the backside). My current query is with the newer dimmer switch. My original has 6 wires in the connector and this one has 4. I have tried to search wiring schematics to determine the difference, but am coming up with more questions than answers. Can any one shed some light here? Can I make the swap or do I need to try and reuse the older switch? Wanting to be sure before I begin butchering a wiring harness and making the issue worse.
