Too complex for me :)
Ok - what did I do ?!?
2012 f250 CC
Playing with the 'dimmer' switch and not sure how to get it back...
my dash lites are dimmed too much during the day, but if I go back up with the dimmer switch it turns on the overheads ?!?
does this thing have some multi mode that if the lights are on and you play it does one thing and if they are not it does another ?!?

On my older truck, the dimmer switch is also the dome light switch.
If I roll the switch ALL the way UP, it "clicks" and turns on the dome lights.
If I just click the switch back down, the dome lights go off... and if I turn it MORE in the down direction, my gauges start dimming.

Turn the overhead lights on then just tap the button down and the lights should go off but keep the dash lights bright. Also are your head lights on? In auto mode don't cover the sensor in the middle of the dash by the windshield.

From page 90 of the owners manual (https://owner.ford.com/servlet/Conte...nerGuidePage):
PANEL DIMMER CONTROL
Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel and all applicable
lit components in the vehicle during
headlamp and parking lamp
operation.
• Tap the top or bottom of the
control to brighten/dim all interior
lit components incrementally, or
• Press and hold at the first
position the top or bottom of the
control until the desired lighting level is reached.
• Press and hold the top of the control to the full on position to activate
the “dome on” feature. This will turn on the interior courtesy lights.
The lights will remain on until the bottom of the control is pressed.
