Replace headlight switch- dimming rheostat may be loose
That is the dash light dimmer control switch.. Rheostat = Dimmer. Bright to dim.
Replace the rheostat under the passengers footwell. Should be two screws on a plastic casing pull it down and pop the rheostat out and replace.
Please check the fuse first. If the fuse is good then the rheostat switch is the next component to test. The rheostat is the dimmer switch you use to control the brightness of the dash lights. It will probably be part of the headlight switch. Best of luck.
Either your rheostat is turned on or you may have a bad door switch.
same thing has happened to me. checked it online, etc after ripping everything apart sounds like it's the rheostat (dimmer switch) has blown. common problem, easy to replace. good luck! same thing has happened to me. checked it online, etc after ripping everything apart sounds like it's the rheostat (dimmer switch) has blown. common problem, easy to replace. good luck!

Dimmer rheostat switch?
A rheostat is a variable resistor. Examples are a volume control knob or an instrument panel dimmer switch. As the resistance is increased in the switch the volume will lower or the instrument panel lights will dim.
Bad parking/tailight fuse? Open in rheostat (dimmer switch)? Bad light switch? Bulbs?
