Guys,
I've got a GNS 430W wired to my Dynon Skyview, and everything works great. The only thing I'm missing is the lettering on the Garmin 430W being lit up. I've been flying at night lately and I'm trying to figure out why. I see in the Garmin 430W install manual the P4001 plug has 39 & 40 labeled lighting bus. I thought it was just to dim the screen, and so did not connect anything to it. But I'm guessing it's for the lighted lettering. I would put power, 12V, to the 39 pin and ground to the 40 pin. Can I use a PWM dimmer to vary the voltage to these pins? And am I correct in thinking these are the lettering pins? Thanks in advance
Richard
