So I, being a cheapskate, bought a little 12v dimmer switch kit on eBay from China (http://www.ebay.com/itm/221457310367). Currently using it to dim an LED strip. I put it together and some connection somewhere between J1 and the rest of it isn't functioning, but I can bypass some of the components and get it working for testing purposes. So my question concerns the pot. When I turn the pot, I can get up to full brightness and to nearly-off, but not really in between. I can turn it up to about 20% brightness, but if I turn it any more, it jumps up to 100%.
Is this something that a new pot can fix? Or do I need to just start over?
(Sidenote: This is just in-line, correct? Or do I need to connect both a positive and negative wire somewhere?)
