Ok Ive been fighting this for a year now.
It started when I was driving the dash lights sudenly went out. Restarting the car made them come back on. NO problems for a while then they started to go off alot more. Now I am at the point the message center and radio dim for an instant when the lights first come on then go back to full bright with no dash lights. Then sometimes I will have dash lights till I start to drive or smack the dash.
I have replaced the dimmer switch. I have cleaned the contacts on the switch the fuse and any other thing I could think of. Any ideas?
Also may or may not be related. some times when I shut the car off the heater will go on full blast until the battery is dead or a drive down a bumpy road knocks off whatever was shorted.
