    I've made an appointment with the Service Dept for Thursday morning - I do not like ELECTRICAL stuff to go unchecked too long...I will let you all know what the outcome.

    I'm pretty sure he means the lights next to the shift knob, not in the instrument cluster. The shift knob lights are not adjustable and are very bright at night...

    I do not think so, I only have an SR though. All of my interior lights seem to be at different levels of brightness with those lights almost being blinding at night... If this does work I will be extremely happy though, I can't stand those shift lights.

    Ok everyone - I performed several LIGHT tests...that button ONLY adjusted the DASH CLUSTER lights - well atleast I know that now :) ...so back to MAIN lights...when in AUTO the Dash Cluster did NOT light up - when in ON and PARKING Dash Cluster lit up for BOTH...the SHIFT LEVEL lights NEVER illuminated for any of the scenarios.

    Thanks all...

    Yes, sadly I think it may be something as simple as that, however, I'm not willing to pull apart a brand NEW truck myself when it's under warranty and I just got it yesterday :) ...I made an appointment for Thursday morning - I have to take off work that morning but it's OK...I will ask they REFILL my GAS to FULL before departing :)

    Can it wait until your first oil change? At least make it worth the effort.

    Nope, I didn't break out the manual yet, it's still in the PLASTIC wrapping :)...I will open it when I get home from work tonight but most likely I'll just be heading back to the Dealership on Thursday morning.
