It could be a blown fuse. Do the tail lights work? On many cars, this one I think, the tail lights and instrument illumination lights are on the same circuit. The under-dash fuse panel likely has the fuse in it. (If not, a few cars have a secondary fuse panel under the hood.) There should be a fuse panel cover with the fuse identification on it. If not you will need help locating the correct fuse. Or get help from a parts store and use a test light to check all the fuses to find any blown ones. If the fuse is blown, and a replacement blows you will need to find a short on the circuit. If someone has installed a after-market radio check there first. They may have mistaken the illumination wire for a radio ground wire and connected radio ground to the illumination circuit. This is a fairly common problem with radios installed by do-it-yourself or inexperienced installer.

How to fix instrument brightness control if it does not work?

If the instrument lights come on but the brightness isn't working you probably have a damaged light switch. They usually aren't too expensive, but on the other hand it depends on the vehicle and the parts distributor. Also if the brightness is controlled by a switch other than the headlight switch, then this rheostat may be bad and need replacing.

Why would the instrument panel lights in a Pontiac Grand Am not be working?

If they are all not working, I would suspect a blown fuse, or they are just turned off. There is a rheostat used to control the brightness of the instrument lights. If it is turned too far the lights will go off. Find the control and turn it. Sometimes it is the reset button for the odometer and sometimes it is a separate control. Look in your owner's manual for the location.

Why do some of the instrument panel lights in a Pontiac vibe not come on when the headlights come on?

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.
