MonteCarloChick Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 So for the past year or so, my dash lights have been very dim, even with the dimmer dial turned up all the way. It wasn't a big issue at the time until now. As of this past 2 weeks, when I would start my car in the morning for work and then turn the headlight switch to on, the dash lights would flicker then remain on, but still dim. Monday morning, the dash lights are completely out and dark. Also, now my taillights will work intermittently. They will come on as normal when I turn the headlight switch to on, but when I arrive at my destination, they'll be dark. I also have no parking lights, side marker lights and the chime to let me know my headlights are on does not work. Tomorrow, I will check fuses. But if it's not a fuse issue, what could be the cause?

Red Nightmare Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 If fuses are good, I would suspect the headlight switch as it is the main control for all the lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I second the headlight switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Nightmare Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 if that does fix it, just kind of let us know. It always helps when the solution is posted when found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarloChick Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Found a burnt out fuse under my fuse box under the hood. Replaced some wire and the fuse, and all is well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BXX Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Damn! Had a loose connection somewhere. Prolly the fuse itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
