bad plug at the wiring connection
Check the dimmer knob. If that isn't it. Check your fuse. Might not be the problem, but it's a place to start
You cannot use most fluorescent lights with a dimmer. Just about any incandescent bulb WILL work with a dimmer. Occasionally, when a halogen bulb burns out, it will destroy a dimmer switch but halogen bulbs are considered incandescent and other than that little problem they work well with a dimmer.
Yes, you can use a dimmer switch on LED lights, but it is important to make sure the dimmer switch is compatible with LED technology to avoid flickering or other issues.
You can effectively control the dimming of LED lights in your home by using a compatible dimmer switch specifically designed for LED lights. Make sure to check the dimmer's compatibility with LED lights before installation to avoid flickering or other issues. Adjust the dimmer switch to your desired brightness level to control the dimming of the LED lights.
Some lights won't dim. If you've installed the switch properly, and are using traditional incandescent bulbs (not flourescent, LED, E-L lights or any other very low current light), the dimmer will dim the bulbs. Make sure you're using a dimmable bulb and that the dimmer is installed properly.
Probably the dash fuse is blown, or the dimmer switch for the dash lights is bad!
To wire a double switch with a single dimmer for LED lights, you will need to connect the hot wire from the power source to the common terminal of the double switch. Then, connect the hot wire from the LED lights to one of the switch terminals. Finally, connect the dimmer switch to the other switch terminal. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult a professional if needed.
It is probably either the switch or a bad ground somewhere. Try the switch first. On my truck the switch itself is going bad. most of the time if you just keep turning the switch on and off then it will come on. If not you'll have to replace the switch. Logic tells us that IF the headlights [high and low beams] are WORKING, then the dedicated HEADLIGHT dimmer switch is OK, as the headlights are the only thing that dimmer switch controls. The HEADLIGHT dimmer switch is ONLY in the headlight circuit, not the other related circuits such as instrument panel and parking lights. On the other hand, there is a SEPERATE DIMMER switch, usually in the MAIN light switch, for controling the brightness of the instrument panel lights, and as answers 1 and 2 suggest, the problem is more likely in the main switch which controls the instrument and parking light circuits, but again, not in the switch dedicated to controlling high and low beam headlights.j3h.
loose connection to the dimmer switch. Check the dimmer switch by dialing off low - hi and back a few times while you have the parking lights on. Also check for a lose fuse.
There is a dimmer or brightness adjustment knob. It's on your dashboard about the 4 o'clock position on your tachometer. The knob has a tiny white pointer printed on the clear plastic next to it. You might want to check your owners manual for the dimmer location along with other controls.
replace main engine relay,see if problem goes away.check that round button dimmer switch on left side of steering wheel dash, they usually get cold solder joints and just quit giving no lights but if it shorted out it could go the other way.
Is your fuse blown? I have the same problem with my truck. Are any other lights out, or just the instrument panel lights? Often the fuse powers other things. For instance my instrument panel lights are out and so are my running lights. I have found that I have a short somewhere in the wiring. If you replace the fuse and it blows again It is probable that you do as well. I am not sure that the instrument panel is a bulb or not could be analog lights. I am working on the same problem now.AnswerDid you install a radio>? It is a common mistake to use the instrument light wire as a ground. If not, It could be a fuse, the dimmer switch, or the bulb, as a rule, all the lights dont blow at the same time. Some cars use a dimmer module, newer and high end imports especially going back (in my experience to 92 and possibly earlier in imports). RELELNTLESSfuses,dimmer switch,head light moduel,daytime running light sensor,night time running light sensor all been replaced. The dashlights,nor any of the turn signals will come on AT NIGHT?? WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS/
