Dash / Stereo Lights not working

[Maverick]

I was having problems with my dash & radio lights going out for no reason and I finally narrowed it down that whenever the low beam lights come on (whether I put them on or the auto lights switch them on) all of the dash lights and stereo lights turn off. Everything execpt the mileage light which becomes very dim, almost to the point that you cannot read it. I’m hoping this is a fuse problem??? But I checked the two fuse boxes and can’t figure out which one may be blown. All of the ones that say int. lights or dash, I’ve checked…

Has anyone else had this problem / know how to fix?

If they work at all, it probly isn't a fuse... try the obvious fix first: the dimmer switch. I bumped mine once, somehow, and for a couple days couldn't figure out why I couldn't see anything when the lights came on. (Fiesty-ish, I know) I'm sure you know where it is, but just in case, left of the steering wheel, the little wheel, try turning it up and down when the low beams are on and see if anything changes.

^^ That would be my first guess

Simple, yet effective.... :thumbsup: I'll give it a shot when I get home, I can't believe I didn't even think of that!
