The dash illumination light (dimmer) switch could be in the off position.
Then you come from the future. It will be located either on the left hand side or the top of the PSP
Check fuses? Could be a bad headlight switch/ Could be an open in dimmer rheostat?
AnswerThe swicth on the shift selecter is bad. or check your fuses
On many cars, there is a dimmer switch which controls the instrument panel lights. If this switch is turned all the way, it may cause the overhead light to come on. The overhead light will then stay on even after doors have all been closed. Find the dimmer switch, close the doors, wait 30 seconds, and then turn the dimmer switch.
Dimmer switch is possibly defective
Compact florescent do not dim. They are all or nothing. You can use them where you have a dimmer switch. They will come on from about half way to full on. Dimmer switches don't like them and the switch will burn out faster.
i have the same car when the warrning ligths come on the car will start when they dont the car will not start the probem is ignition swicth and it is hard to take out the swicth good luck
AnswerIf the lights work on the flash to pass but do not work otherwise either the switch is bad or the dimmer switch is bad. I just am working on a 1995 Ranger and found the dimmer switch to be bad. I checked the headlight switch and that was good so I found the dimmer switch to be the problem. I jumped the wires after unplugging the dimmer switch and lights come on. Replace the headlight dimmer switch and good to go! Hope this helps.
Usally not. The only link I see is that these are usually on the same fuse. Ohm check the fuse. Also check that the dimmer switch just isn't disconnected or turned off\down. -edit- Possibly - I installed an aftermarket stereo on my Subaru Loyale (1990) and had the same symptoms you described. After troubleshooting for months, I discovered that during the stereo installation I fried the actual dimmer switch. When I replaced that, everything came back online. If the fuses check out, try replacing the actual dimmer switch. You can check this by bypassing the dimmer switch - the dash lights should come on full-power if this is the cause (connect the wire going into the switch to the wire going out of the switch).
CHECK the brAKE LIGHT SWICTH ABOVE THE PEDAL ANOUT 10 inches ,by chech see rear brake lights work. CHECK the brAKE LIGHT SWICTH ABOVE THE PEDAL ANOUT 10 inches ,by chech see rear brake lights work.
Older types of dimmer switches used a small transformer in them for a control power supply. Change this unit out for a new one as the technology has come a long way in the past few years.
Answer 1 - Instrument Lights Operate IntermittentlyWithout doing a "hands on troubleshooting" of your vehicle, no one here can be certain of the specific location and cause of your problem. However, based on your question, I suspect that the cause is a loose connection in the circuit providing power to the instrument lights, or on the instrument panel circuit board itself.It is possible also, that the instrument panel dimmer switch is wearing out.Answer 2 -The dash dimmer switch or the headlight switch is the most likely problem.
