Hello,

Just bought the car today, everything works fine, but out of nowhere when driving at night the dash lights all go out, including the AC lights and the lights on the gear shift (automatic). Some pounding on the panels gets them to turn on, but next time I turn the car back on they refuse to work, then suddenly work again. I've checked all fuses and they work, but the Dome Light fuse is blowing over and over, and when it does, I get no door chime either. I've looked all over the Internet, but haven't seen a problem exactly like mine. All taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and reverse lights work. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Also noticed the Wiper Blade Interval setting has stopped working.

 

I reinstalled the stereo today and am still having the same problem. I've noticed one thing for sure, that the Dome Light fuse is constantly blowing whenever I put a new one in, either almost immediately or when I turn the car on. I see a spark when I put the fuse in.

And of course, still no dash lights....only at random times when they feel like working.

 

you need to check the ground for the dash lighting.

 

I suppose that's in the wire cluster behind the stereo?
