    I've searching the forums for a solution but haven't found one yet...

    Now my interior lights won't come on :confused: and it's a bitch to see the rpm at night (manual trans)... The dash and button lights won't come on at all. The only interior lights that do are the map/dome and radio face (but not the buttons like 1,2,3 etc.). I think it may be a blown fuse because overnight they stopped working. FWIW, the knob switch from the interior will turn on the headlights when rotated. Any thoughts?

    Could be a fuse.. How's the dimmer switch? That potentiometer is hooked up to the climate lights, combination meter, and drive Selector lights

    The dimmer switch was working perfect before and i had it all the way up, but the thing that confuses me is that the headlights still come on.
    Oh, if it helps, I used to be able to put the potentiometer between the last two stops and the interior lights would turn off, but the headlights would stay on.

    The dimmer switch doesn't affect the headlights though, and the headlights are on different circuits than the interior lights. Check the fuses as a start to the problem!
