Your 1998 dodge Dakota sport dash light and dome lights go off and then you can hit the brake they will dimI can push on the dash at the left side and they brighten can you help?
I've had some cars in the past with similar issues... The dimming dash lights upon braking turned out to be a weak battery. As the brake lights went on, it took power away from the dash lights. On another car, my dash lights would sometimes flicker. I found that the dimmer control was loose. Sometimes fiddling with that switch will help.
