Yeah. LMC lists p/n: 36-0620 for $5.95.
Funny, I needed one right now -- last week -- and bought a Dimmer Switch from O'Reilly's for $26.38. [Incl tax, and w/ Mil Disc]. It was made by Standard and had a ''Lifetime Warranty.''
Still made in Taiwan. [P/N: STD DS72]

The last one was from 7/17, so almost 5 years in a daily driver isn't bad for a part that gets stomped-on multiple times a night.

awbanks: I had your exact gripe, and R&R'ed the Dimmer Switch and that got it.
While you're down there inspect the wiring to the plug and terminals, but most likerly it's just the Switch.

Good to know Orielly has some in stock. I find LMC Truck has some great deals - but sometimes can get you with shipping costs. Looks like they've got it for $5.95 and $5 shipping to me
