My car's dash board light won't work. All warning lights are functioning. I change the instrument light for illuminating the dash board. But it still won't work, I also notice that every time the headlight was switch on. The Transmission indicator in the dashboard turns off. If the headlight was off the Transmission lndicator light works. I suspect that there is an open ground somewhere. Could you be able to point me in the right faulty components.

Hi Manny79,

Check if the dash brightness control has been adjusted to minimum.

If it does not help, either the switch or the intergrated control unit (plugged into the underdash fusebox) is faulty.
