Instrument Dimmer Switch reversed ??

[Odin]

How should the rotating panel dimmer switch function on a 71 Challenger dash with standard instrument cluster?

The dome light comes on when I turn it all the way counterclockwise and feel the click.  The dash lights etc all go off completely when the switch is in that position.  As I rotate it clockwise (out of the detent) the dash lights etc all come on full bright then dim gradually as I continuing rotating the switch clockwise.

Is that all correct?

I believe that's how mine works, but I got to say, I haven't touched mine in years. I'll check today if I get all this snow cleared up before work tonight.

Sounds right to me.
