Question
My dimmer switch for the dash board does not work. The only thing that lights up is the milage and all the oil, gas, door, etc., when and before the car is on. Where is the fuse located or do u think that it is a wiring problem?

Answer
Hi Eddie,

Sounds like the dimmer is bad. It should also work the dome light. Is that off also? Fuses should be in the glove box or under the left dash and your owners manual will be able to tell you, on your car, which fuse controls which component.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
