Re: dash light dimming
In the US model, with the dial ring on the headlight switch stick. If you have it on 1, you pretty much can't see it.

Re: dash light dimming
Hi Yat,
I would suggest checking all the fuses first. It may be something as simple as that. Check fuse 9 in the fuse box under the dash. Here's the fuse box diagram with the numbers listed.

If the fuse is good or replacing it doesn't work, the illumination control module may be bad or got fried.

Re: dash light dimming
Does the light behind the push buttons on your heating and cooling control work? It is tied to the same circuit.chochocho wrote:need some help. my interior dash lights are not working.

thanks in advance.
Check the 10A #9 fuse in the foot well. If it's not blown, use a test light. This is downstream of lighting relay.
Attach cord to grounded body part and touch the exposed pin on top of the fuse with the needle end. It should light up when the light is switched on.
If you're not getting voltage here, it means that lighting relay is not getting energized.
