'99 GC - Dash won't dim
'99 GC 115k miles. Owned: 1 day.
Dash won't dim or interior lights come on by rotating switch on light switch. For what its worth, car has an after market radio in it. Thoughts appreciated. Chip L |
Re: '99 GC - Dash won't dim
Need a little more information. Tell me if I am correct. The dash lights
come on, but will not dim? When you rotate the knob counter-clockwise, the interior light comes on, but if you rotate clock-wise, the interior light goes off, but will not dim the dash lights? If the above is true, then it sounds like the dimmer has died.

Re: '99 GC - Dash won't dim
The dash lights come on with the lights but do not dim w/ the adj of
the knob. The knob has no affect on dash or interior lights. Carl wrote: > Need a little more information. Tell me if I am correct. The dash lights > come on, but will not dim?

Re: '99 GC - Dash won't dim
Probably a bad switch in the knob. Not sure if it's a dealer item or a
junkyard item.

Re: '99 GC - Dash won't dim
Isn't there a second dedicated dash dimmer switch?

Re: '99 GC - Dash won't dim
My 2000 also has it on the headlight switch. Clockwise to time, counter
clockwise to brighten. Counter clockwise past the 'click' to turn on interior lights.

Re: '99 GC - Dash won't dim
I would next suspect the stereo wiring.... I see folks that connect up
the wrong wire to dash lights thinking the radio lights will come on with the headlight switch. This can be a power line for the power antenna or remote not a light wire like the old ones had.
