Purchased car last February with 18,000 miles on it - a pristine example.
I just noticed that when using the dimmer thumbwheel beside the steering column that the temp/speedo/tach/fuel lights stay at a constant level but the green mileage indicators and climate control panel both dim as expected. And the temp/speedo/tach/fuel dash lights appear to be on always; even with the dash switch in the manual OFF position. The dimmer wheel does operate the map/interior lights correctly and doesn't dim ANYthing with the dash switch in the OFF position (which I would expect).
Don't know if this is normal or a glitch; I'd say the FEM but all my research indicates that when that gets flaky the dash lights go out completely or become intermittent..
