Exclamation Interior Lighting Problem

Ok, everything was fine untill this past saturday, i thought it was just a fuse or something. but its not. so heres the deal. everything works fine, untill it gets to be night time... then i turn on the lights, and thats when the trouble starts. everything outside works GREAT! Perfect, but the inside is a different story. i have the stock Radio and it still lights different when the headlights are on, but the gauges, and the AC controls are Dark as can be... check the bulbs, everything is fine. I dont get this one, I had to ask my dad for help on this one, Hes an engineere, and really good with electronics, its got him Stumped to. anything would be great guys! i just dont get it...

Re: Interior Lighting Problem

Try checking the dimmer switch, not real sure what else could cause everything not to work without blowing a fuse. Does the light around the ignition work?

Re: Interior Lighting Problem

you could make your own dimmer switch. thats what i did. just simply get a turn style switch and wire it up the same way you would the factory. very simple and cheap
