replace burn out dash lights bulbs.make sure to put them in the same hole they came from.I did not and my turn signals did not work till i got the bulbs in the right place.dont know if this will help but you said dash board lights and this is my story.
The headlight switch that has the dash light dimmer knob. The dimmer switch went bad and you can only fix it by getting another headlight switch on most cars. Some though have a separate dimmer switch.
First you have locate the knob or the dial controls. This is what brightens the lights on your dashboard. Then you need to check the fuse that controls the dashboard lights. Most of the time the fuse needs a simple replacement.
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.
burned out bulb(s) dirty or broken contacts on dimmer switch broken or shorted wiring blown fuse
Answer 1 - Instrument Lights Operate IntermittentlyWithout doing a "hands on troubleshooting" of your vehicle, no one here can be certain of the specific location and cause of your problem. However, based on your question, I suspect that the cause is a loose connection in the circuit providing power to the instrument lights, or on the instrument panel circuit board itself.It is possible also, that the instrument panel dimmer switch is wearing out.Answer 2 -The dash dimmer switch or the headlight switch is the most likely problem.
The headlamp switch controls the power to the dimmer switch and then on to the headlights.The headlamp switch controls the power to the dimmer switch and then on to the headlights.
On many cars, there is a dimmer switch which controls the instrument panel lights. If this switch is turned all the way, it may cause the overhead light to come on. The overhead light will then stay on even after doors have all been closed. Find the dimmer switch, close the doors, wait 30 seconds, and then turn the dimmer switch.
no
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.
IIRC, yes. Check the cabin fuse panel. Also check the dimmer switch
A "dimmer" switch will change the brightness of lights.
Yes
Check the light dimmer switch to see if the lights go dimmer or they stay at the same brightness. It sounds like the dimmer switch is either stuck or bad.
The dimmer switch is located on the turn signal switch. Pull it toward you to switch from low to high or high to low beam lights.
a dimmer
Yes it can.
The dimmer switch near/on the headlight switch is a potentiometer and it controls the dash light intensity, as well as manually turns on the interior lights at the high(bright) end.
