the radio is wired to the headlight power supply wire, that's why it will only come on when you turn on the headlights. my buddy did this to his truck in the best buy parking lot when it was getting dark out.
dimmer switch below light controls is turned down? i have an 05 and that happens when the dial has been moved. hope that helps
I had a similar problem with a '70's model pontiac. There had been an aftermarket stereo installed and believe it or not the + and - were backwards (radio was wired backwards) Only difference was if I had the radio on and turned the high beams on it blew the radio fuse. Hope this helps you.
what makes my 2002 inside lights will work during the day but not night, my dashlight, speedometer ,radio lights
broken circit in your light switch
Most likely the battery is weak and dying. Enough voltage and current to make the solenoid barely engage (clicking in and out), but plenty of current and voltage for the radio and some of the lights.
Check your fuses - they are operated separately
The fact that the lights don't work may be a problem with the fuse. You should have your radio examined by a professional.
The tail lights and the stop lights work off of different circuits. The stop lights work when the brake pedal is depressed while the tail lights work when the light switch is turned on. Look for a burnt fuse or a bad connection.
bad wireing or your insterment panel dimmer switch is bad
From the information provided in the question, we can only conclude that something broke. Check dashboard fuses.
You need to check to fuse box.
the lights are out on my dash, climate control and radio buttons, but are ok (but very dim) on the odometer and radio clock/display. it's like someone turned the dimmer all the way down. could the dimmer be bad? all my interior lights and automatic headlights work.
