Dash Light issues
So, I have been trying to chase this issue to no success.
dash lights started flickering, then over the course of a month one side stopped working. Now they all are intermittent. I changed the bulbs, the dimmer switch. no success.
I noticed when I turn the dimmer ****, the ac panel lights go bright as the dash goes dim vice versa. Could someone steer me in the right direction on what i need to look for.

Pull the gauge assembly. Q-tips and alcohol to clean the electrical connections on the back and on the cables. You can also get some contact cleaner spray for the switch. You don't have to unplug it if the power is off. Give it ample time to dry, maybe overnight to be safe.
