You have blown a fuse, look for an acc. fuse out.
Remove the dash and remove the instrument cluster, the lights are in the back of the cluster.
well i bought new lights for my instrument cluster thinking it would fix the problem but there still dim
The instrument cluster lights have their own fuse. It's a 5 amp at the bottom center of the fuse block. When the lights are on, the radio draws lamp power from the instrument cluster. This allows you to dim the brightness of the radio display with the other internal lamps.
The Kia Sorrento instrument panel lights go on and off with the headlights. The headlights go on with an automatic daylight sensor.
Check your fuses! If they're all good I would next check the wireing on your stereo. I had a loose wire once back there and it made my instrument cluster's lights not work when I had the headlights on and I had to guess my speeds at night.
headlights
You Will Have To Take To A Dealer. Best Of Luck
Yes it should while running apply parking brake should go out also should have a little green light on in the instrument cluster when running to indicate being on
Inside the instrument cluster. To replace them remove the cluster and take it apart.
Fuse for parking lights probably blown.
