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.
The Kia Sorrento instrument panel lights go on and off with the headlights. The headlights go on with an automatic daylight sensor.
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!!!
Check the fuses and the bulbs.
a bad fuse of a faulty switch.
I had a similar problem with a Pontiac some years back. It was a bad dashboard ground. It may not be it, but I would start there.
you take apart the dash and get to the instrument panel. then you take the instrument panel out and on the back of the panel you'll will see the lights
Faulty ground to the dash.
Bad fuse
If all of the dashboard lights do not work at the same time on a Pontiac Montana, check the instrument panel relay. The relay is located on the firewall in the engine compartment.
All the lights a flashing on the instrument panel on my Chrysler town and country minivan. Why?
Check parking light fuse - should be the same circuit
