Your light has a dimmer switch on and the light wont work?
If the light has a dimmer switch and it's not working, first check if the dimmer switch is in the correct position and hasn't been accidentally turned off. If the switch is on and the light still isn't working, there may be an issue with the dimmer switch or the light bulb itself. Try replacing the bulb or checking the dimmer switch for any malfunctions.
How do you turn the dome lights the lights underneath the dash when they don't go off after getting out of the car?
If the dome lights or lights under the dash don't turn off after exiting the car, you can try closing all doors properly and ensuring the parking brake is engaged. If they still do not turn off, there may be a faulty door switch or wiring issue that needs to be addressed by a mechanic. You can also try manually turning off the lights using the light switch if applicable.
Do light sockets without bulbs in them still use energy when their switch is turned on?
No, light sockets without bulbs do not consume energy when the switch is turned on because there is no electrical load present to draw electricity. The circuit remains open when there is no bulb, so no electricity flows through it.
Is it normal for tester to show hot on a light switch with it in the off position and no power going to the light it controls?
No, it is not normal for a tester to show a hot signal on a light switch when it is in the off position and there is no power going to the light it controls. This could indicate a wiring issue or a faulty switch that needs to be addressed. It is best to consult a qualified electrician to investigate further and ensure safety.
How do you fix head lights on a 95 Chevrolet Corsica if they are not working The bulbes are still good and the fuse is good as well could not find any broken wires Switched on and off at first now off?
Try replacing your headlight switch, it includes an internal circuit breaker that has possibly gone bad and will not reset any more. On my 89 there is ground wire on body in front of battery. Bad ground connection will keep headlights from working. Could be hi/lo dimmer switch on steering column under dash. Difficult to change without removing steering column. I unplugged switch, plugged in new switch, set new switch on dim, and wired it to column. Since old switch still connected to actuator rod going to turn signal/dimmer handle I only have dim lights but can drive at night.

Turning the head lights on the radio display goes out even if sound can still be heard on Mercury Tracer Wagon 1997 how can be fixed?
Make sure dimmer switch is turned to brightest position
You replaced the lightswitch on your 1988 ranger but the headlights still wont work could your problem be the dimmer switch?
Yes, the dimmer switch could be at fault but, be sure the bulbs are okay before you spend anymore money.
What can be the problem with your 1990 Jeep Wrangler if your headlights go out?
If your high beams still work it is the dimmer switch.
Where is dimmer switch on Ford Windstar?
The headlamp dimmer switch is mixed in with turn signal lever, push the lever forward for 'brights' The instrument panel dimmer switch is just right and down from the steering wheel, left of the radio it looks like the wheel on your mouse but bigger In 1999+ models, the instrument panel dimmer is to the left of the steering wheel - still looks like the wheel on your mouse.
Why do your headlights parking lights and dash lights not work you have replaced dimmer switch light switch and fuses and still no luck?
could be bad wiring
When a switch is turned off should the load be zero?
The load will be zero after the switch is turned off. if power is still being drawn then the switch is quite likely faulty
Is it normal for a dimmer light switch to be slightly warm even when turned off?
Most dimmer switches are nothing more than a large in-line variable resistor. Turning the switch down only increases the resistance on the line and there by reduces the volage to the load, which in this case is the light. If the RESISTOR is turned down all the way, even though the light may appear to be completely off, there may still be a small amount of voltage at the load (light) resulting in a resistor that is turning whatever is left into heat. If this is the type of dimmer, check the switch to see if there is an "off" position that completely cuts the circuit. The other type of dimmer switch is far more complex and is used for motors, florescent ligting and other equipment that will not function on reduced voltage. These types of dimmers use a concept called "pulse width modultion" to supply full voltage to a device but the voltage is sent in pulses that correspond to the amount of current used to provide the necessary intensity of the load. If it's a florescent light, the pulse width would be adjusted to provide the light that you want. If it's a motor, the pulse width would control the speed of the motor. These types of dimmers may use a small current to continue operation of the switch even though nothing is really on. In my opinion, this type of dimmer is not designed well, but then, I didn't have to build it. So in general, the answer is "No, a dimmer switch shouldn't be warm if it has been off for a long time." After the switch has been turned off it should cool to room temp after a while.
When a dimmer light is turned down all the way is it the same as turning the light completely off?
No. And it will still kill the battery.
Where is the headlight dimmer switch in 1980 Monte Carlo?
Believe they were still on the floor at that time look for a push switch drivers side floor left side. If not then it is on the column
If all your dash lights are out but you still have parking lights head lights and brake lights could it be the dimmer in the headlight switch?
Yes.
Why do I have no dash lights in my 1997 Malibu I have tried fuses dimmer switch and still nothing?
Have you checked the dimmer? I have a 2000 and there is a wheel to dim the dash lights to the left of the steering wheel, just above the cup holder.
