Ok so I tested both controllers outside. They both act the exact same. The light only turns off when the power switch is turned off. The light turns on full brightness with 1 flick of the light switch. The next flick which should turn it off does not turn it off. The bulb stays dimly lit. This does not change by the fan behavior. Even with fan off the light never turns off completely until I press the power switch. Now my question is, should I be concerned? Seems like a small inconvenience more than anything but at the same time if this is dangerous then I don’t wanna install the fan. The other thing is, I’m using a standard led bulb using that adapter they provided. I do not have any bulb that fits the original socket nor do I have the halogen bulb so could it simply be the bulb type? If you have a specific LED bulb brand and dimmable, it will work. Ecosmart is a good light bulb brand to start with. But I think there's something wrong with the LDM. My guess is someone used the wrong LED bulb type and used a non-dimmable LED. You can do soldering to repair the board if you know what you're doing. I will try a different bulb and see what happens. What is the socket type on the Saturn? I had no place to install except the closet so I installed it there. As of now it’ll be mostly used for light (on/off) so I think it’s safe to use? |

Is there a year cut off for each generation? Mine is 1987 and original owner mentioned a halogen bulb but not sure how I would know. I can post a pic of the socket. |

Early production 1986 and 1987 Saturns had one intermediate base socket. 1988 Saturns had 3 intermediate base sockets. 1989 Saturns had one halogen light socket.
