Chevy Venture Van's Instrument Panel and Radio lights go off at night after 30 minutes driving (or when the head lights are purposely switched-on during daytime)
Hello, Folks,
My 1997 Chevy Venture Van's Instrument Panel lights, including the time/radio display go dark at night although all electrical: headlights, turn lights, radio work well.
That means AT NIGHT, I cannot read my speed, temperature, and fuel meters, neither time/radio station display.
This problem only occurs after 30 minutes driving at night (or when the headlights are purposely switched-on during daytime). The output voltage of the “headlamp & Instrument Panel (I/P) Lamp Dimmer Switch” becomes 0 from its normal value of 12v.
I REPLACED THE HEADLAMP & I/P DIMMER SWITCH with one that I bought from eBay (probably coming from a junkyard). The problem persists, and exactly the same.
What is my next step? Is that possible the replacing switch is again a bad one?
Again, all other electrical lights - fr
