When you switch on the lights of your car then the dash lights dim to prevent blinding you (in daytime the dash lights are brighter to be seen in the sun). Instead, your car likely has some electrical problem that needs to be fixed. If the fuse wasn't blown, or the replacement fuse doesn't work or blows again quickly, it's likely that it wasn't just a one-time issue. Put in a fuse with the same amperage rating and hope that it works! If the interior filament is broken, the fuse will need to be replaced. Once you've removed it, hold it up to the light. Be sure that the vehicle is turned off with the keys out of the ignition, and then remove the fuse with pullers or a pair of pliers.

The Solutionįirst, find your vehicle's fuse box and check the owner's manual to see which fuse is for the dash lights. These problems could still cause the fuse to blow, and they may persist even after a fuse replacement. However, it could also be due to deeper wiring issues. Most likely, this will be due to a blown fuse, which is designed to protect the circuits in case of a surge. If the dash lights are completely dark, it's safe to assume that the problem is somehow electrical. The Symptom: Dash Lights Are Dead The Cause And, since electrical current supplied to the spark plugs is what creates spark, your engine may stop running if the alternator gives up the ghost entirely. A failing alternator is bad news for a number of reasons! It may not allow your battery to recharge enough, making it slowly drain to the point where you'll need a jump start to get things going.

In addition to recharging the battery, the alternator is in control of running the electrical components in your vehicle. if its the alternator it will reveal this soon. check all connections if there cleaned and secure then whats going on is the alternator output drops off and the you get only 12 volt battery power instead of 14.25 volts from alt. Most likely, flickering dash lights are due to problems with the alternator. this is exactly how my alternator began failing. No, your Subaru isn't trying to throw a rave.

The SolutionĬhanging these light bulbs isn't as simple as changing headlight or tail light bulbs. When one of those bulbs burned out, that part of the dash would lose its illumination. But in older vehicles, the instrument cluster was backlit by light bulbs. Nowadays, individual LEDs will often make up the dash lights, so it's incredibly uncommon to see part of the dash that's larger than one of these lights go dim. This is a problem that is generally seen on vehicles that are a few years old or older, and that's due to the kind of technology used.
