2003 Lumina LS doesn't have dashboard lights

All other lights work except for the dashboard lights which makes it difficult to drive at night. Any ideas to resolve this problem? Thanks.

1. Check the dashboard dimmer control.

2. Check fuses.

3. Check power and ground at the dash.

Thanks, Schurkey. Where can I find the dashboard dimmer control? Fuses are perfect.

Don't know about an '03, my '92 and '93 have a slider next to the headlight switch.

The 2003 Lumina was an export only vehicle. Going to be tough to find info on it here in the States. I recomend you look locally for some information

Re: 2003 Lumina LS doesn't have dashboard lights

Oh yeah, Schurkey. I found it, but it seems the car wash boys have damaged it. Found the slot for the slider but the slider itself is missing. Tried to poke it with some sharp object but there's no response from the lamps. I don't want to take it to the agency as they surely will let me buy the whole assembly of the dashboard. Not sure if I'll learn to live with it.

The dimmer itself is easily replaced, it is an easily accessable component.

Thanks Maxwedge, I will try to tinker with it and hopefully can get the bulbs to light up. I don't believe they have burned down to be replaced.

Re: 2003 Lumina LS doesn't have dashboard lights

on my 1998 lumina the right half of the dash cluster is burnt out from the middle of the speedometer on thru the temp gage .the dealer and auto zone told me that the entire cluster must be replaced. the dealer said they send a cluster to a shop somewhere to be rebuilt.(?)

The printed circuit is probably bad, there are several companies that do this on an exchange basis, google gm instrument clusters.
