Is there a dimmer for the instrument cluster? Mine are really barely visiable. Yeah I know, I just can't figure it out...

 

It's the **** on the headlight switch.

 

Compared to other people posting questions around here, I am at least glad to see someone posting up a SANE question that won't waste everyone's time.

Like st1llet0 said, its on the headlight switch. Its on the part you use to flip the headlight, but the INNER portion of it (the headlight ON part is on the OUTSIDE). It's a semi round dome shape.

 

Thanks guys.

 

I drove my car for a couple years before realizing this so don't worry about it. I've seen other people ask the same thing on the forums here before.

 

I didn't realize there was one until I got my second 7 and couldn't see ****.

 

I have had 2 FCs that did not adjust with the ****, on those cars I would adjust it to full then tap the **** a little bit and they would work again, probably needed something rebuilt but I never bothered.

so if you get no adjustment try tapping that switch lightly

There's a transistor inside there that fails sometimes and it makes the dimmer not work at all. If that's the case, there's the cheap method and expensive method to repairing it...

Cheap method is to bypass the ************.

Expensive method is to replace the transistor.
