How do you bypass a car dimmer switch?

To bypass the dimmer switch you should jump the white-green-stripe wire with the white-black-stripe wire, or just connect the white-green-stripe wire to ground. Don't connect the solid green wire to ground or to the white-black-stripe wire or you'll blow a fuse.
