I started my car up tonight and the almost all of the lights in the instrument panels went out or at least dimmed significantly... Speedo cluster is still showing accurate readings on all gauges, there's just no lights now.... Cluster lights out, traction control button and pedal adjustment dimmed, bezel lights dimmed, radio dimmed, and shifter lights are out. Maybe a fuse? Any ideas anyone! Thanks!

Dumb question but you did check that the dimmer switch isn't turned down?

If it was a fuse then you'd have no instrument lights.

Try adjusting the dimmer switch as mentioned above.

Uhh.... Yeah.... Soooo this is embarrassing.... Apparently my kid turned the dimmer switch down when I was detailing it the other day. I feel so dumb now, LoL. Thanks for the help!

Lesson learned... always try the obvious things first.
