figure this one out - Toyota Yaris Forums

I blew the fuse to the power steering when I was trying to by-pass the TPMS, well I replaced that fuse and have power steering but now when I turn on my headlights the dash instrument goes dim, when the headlights or in daylight running mode the instrument panel is lit fine.

I think it's supposed to do that. At night you don't need the dash to be as bright.

yes you're right there is a dimer switch I didn't see.

thanks
