#1 of 6 headlights on / dashboard lights go out by rexhenderson May 12, 2009 (10:36 am)
When I turn on my headlights my dashboard illumination and clock go out. Anyone have ideas? Replies to this message: tidester (May 12, 2009 6:33 pm)

Replying to: rexhenderson (May 12, 2009 10:36 am) Does your dashboard have some kind of dimmer switch? It may be set to "low" or "off" and triggered by turning on your headlights.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

I don't think so, but I'll another look around for any secreted knob I might have hit by accident. The clock does still keep correct time. So maybe it is just the display dimming. Replies to this message: jpettibone (May 13, 2009 5:00 am)

#5 of 6 Nope, no dimmer by rexhenderson May 13, 2009 (8:05 am)
Nope there is no dimmer switch on the dash or steering wheel. What I do have left of the steering wheel is three little black covers where it looks like switches would go if one had bought the options for whatever they are for. Replies to this message: jpettibone (May 13, 2009 8:32 am)

Replying to: rexhenderson (May 13, 2009 8:05 am) What model and year do you have? We have a 2009 Base 4 cyl. and we have the dimmer wheel.
