Dash backlight issues... any thoughts?

[stovanovich]

So have a weird issue that's been happening over the last few months, my dash backlights come on with the key but dimmed until you actually turn the headlights on which they then turn on properly. Any thoughts on why they are coming on dimly when they shouldn't be on at all until headlights come on?

Sounds like a faulty combo switch. You could probably remove e it and clean up the contacts

Will give that a go... dunno why i didn't think of it already

Sounds like there's a weak connection between switched power and the parking light circuit. +1 on starting with the headlight switch contact.
