Why are the instrument panel and tail lights not coming on when you turn on the headlights in your 2000 Corvette C5?

If the headlights are not working correctly on a 1990 Corvette, the fuses or lights could be going out. Replace the old fuses and check that all wires connected to the lights are functioning correctly.

The Kia Sorrento instrument panel lights go on and off with the headlights. The headlights go on with an automatic daylight sensor.

I have no dash lights or gage lights that come on in my 1982 corvette, what could be the problem ? i checked all fuses.

Check the #6 fuse in the box under the passenger side forward floor.

i have a 99 and it does it too...

What are the headlights doing? Is the bulb burned out? Are the lights not coming on at all? Are they misaligned?

Check the fuses and the bulbs.

i bet it wouldn't be hard to put the headlights on the radeo power that comes on when the ignition is on...

turn the dimmer switch up.

when you can see their headlights

If they're fading in and out, I would say the dimmer switch is a definite possibility, and the other thing I'd be looking for is a loose ground. I would suspect a loose ground more so, as a faulty dimmer switch would be expected to cause the lights to remain consistently dim. At the end of the ground wire will usually be a ring terminal which goes around the ground post... exactly where it is…

Turn the headlights on the whole way, then push the headlight knob back in, leaving the parking lights still lit. This will hold the headlights up, without having them turned on.

bad headlight switch

have you tried turning the ouside dial on headlight switch that dims the gages bright or dull had a similar problem with 98 corvette no dash lights or hvac or running lights turned out to be multi function switch (headlights turnsignals)

if you've tried hitting the high/low beam switch & headlights are out on both, then a bad headlight switch or headlight switch plug or high/low beam switch plug not fully engaged.

When i was trying to disable my DRL's (Daytime Running Lights) i pulled the fuse for them and my headlights and instrument lights were flashing intermittently. Check the fuse panel in the glove box and look for the DRL fuse. Check if its blown. Hope this helps!!!

Faulty ground to the dash.

You have blown a fuse, look for an acc. fuse out.

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.

Check the fuse for the headlights. It is probably open.

Headlights are not fused. If they lights are coming on try the headlamp relay or the the headlamp switch.

use low beam lights within 300ft of on coming vehicles

Headlights, interior lights, parking lights, Headlights, interior lights, parking lights,

Man vehicles have the dash lights and tail lights wired through the same fuse. Check your fuse box for the dash or tail light fuse. Something has most likely caused it to blow.

Possible bad headlight switch. The switch is actually 2 switches in one. One side turns on the headlights and the other contacts turn on the tail lights which also feed the instrument panel through usually a 5 amp fuse.

There is a vacuum line attached to the back of the headlight switch on the dash. When you pull the switch out to turn on the lights this allows vacuum to open the light doors through rubber vacuum lines. When you turn the lights off this cuts the vacuum to the lights and a spring opperates the doors and closes them.

unless your dimmer is turned down..... blown fuse or bad headlight switch. that's about it..

There are about 3 reasons your lights don't display at night. 1. Ground wire is loose, located on firewall. 2. Burned out LED display, must be replaced. 3.

make sure your dash light dim control switch is not turned all the way up. they are usually found in the dash on the drivers side or on the same control as the headlights. see your owners manual for further information. Usually, instrument panel lights ["dashboard lights"] are turned on and off WHEN the headlights or parking lights are turned on or off. Since the head lights and tail lights are NOT powered through the…

Make sure the brightness knob isn't turned down too far. When the headlights are off, the instrument panel is lit by an automatic system that assumes it's daylight and gives the panel a lot of illumination. When you turn on the headlights, it changes to the system used in most cars, which depends on where you set the brightness control, which is located somewhat near the leftmost vent.

Fog lights are only accessable when headlights are on; once headlights are on, pull shaft/stalk out to turn on fog lights.

check the fuses - there is no fuse for the headlights.

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 instruments light dim for night driving when the headlights are turned on. Check to insure that your dash dimmer switch is on high. If it is, then you have a problem with either the dimmer switch or the wiring.

replace fuse

Not if headlights are reqired by law.

Possible ground issue at the taillights.

The headlights could have bad bulbs or a bad fuse; the two sets of lights are on different circuits.

parking lights are in the back of ur car and headlights ar in front of ur car

Check bulbs & fuses first. If still a problem you will need to start looking at possible wiring issues

splice together both stripped wires for headlights and run your projector lights to your fog lights or park lights

Your headlights may not dim because you don't have dimmer lights. Dimmer lights can blow and leave you with just the high beams.

Headlights, since they require more power than the inside lights of a car.

how do headlights operate? how do headlights operate?

You may see the headlights and dash lights flicker at an idle. You may hear unusual noises coming from the alternator when the engine is running.

It's called day running lights. Some newer vehicles have it. They go off when the vehicle is shut off

No the early C4 lights are round and the 92 has the ZR1 oval lense.

The lights are electric. Check to see if the gears in the motor are chewed up, if they aren't then the problem exists elsewhere. I've been having the same problem.

On most vehicles, the low beam headlights are the outside pair of lights. This is true when the headlights are side by side. When the two sets of lights are stacked, the low beam headlights are usually on the bottom.

Sounds like the switch is bad. You can buy a replacement switch at any automotive parts store and they are not that hard to install. Also check the fuse as sometimes the headlights have their own fuse while the parking/brake/back-up lights have their own.
