It's a bit too early to tell but after moving that slider to the right, just before it turns on the dome light, the dash and CRT have stayed on. I took the car for a run today, only about five miles, but they were on the whole way. That is very unusual. If that's all it took, I am so relieved! (Touches every bit of wood in sight!). Thanks to all the help, guys. Really appreciate the tips. Spring is here in Toronto, car is out of storage and the dashlights are on. Life is good.
