Can anyone tell me why my dash lights work during the daylight but go out at night (sometime). When they go out, so do all the radio and overhead console lights.

Hello and thanks for donating


You may have an issue with the dome light switch, make sure it is all the way turned on and also inspect the wiring to the back of it. If there are loose wiring it could cause this intermittent issue that you would notice more at nighttime.
