Need some help! lights in gauge cluster wont come on at all I was driving the other day and flipped my headlights on and looked down and saw complete darkness. I have checked a couple of fuses and took the guage cluster out checked bulbs and still nothing, and dont know what else to do. The dimmer still dims the controls for radio on my steering wheel but nothing else. Any help would be appriciated

All the things on the dimmer switch are all the same circuit including TCS switch, fog light switch, radio, hvac control head, etc. Ck pin B9 (grey wire) at the IPC connector and see what you have for voltage as you change the dimmer roller. Pin B11 is ground (black). If both wires check good and voltage is correct, then you have an IPC failure.

Yes. I was stating that if all other dimming works properly on the radio, hvav, etc., then its not the dimmer switch thats causing your problem. Either the wire going to the IPC for dimmer control, or a bad IPC.
