2012 ram 5.7 l hemi light power prob
I'm experiencing something that I would love to have some feedback on.
when I turn my lights on Not auto, but on, and the dimmer wheel is all
the way to the left but not off..my dash lights go out and radio lights
go out as well. Am I just stupid or is it functioning properly. When
I turn the dimmer wheel all the way to right, but not far enough to turn
on the overhead lights, the dash lights turn back on. If anybody has
5 min. to check yours out and advise. Driving me nuts. 2012 ram sport.

Is the behavior different with the lights on Auto (versus On)? Do you see much difference in display brightness between full left and full right (but not past the detent)? If you notice a difference in brightness and your concern is just that the lights seem to go completely out even before you have the dimmer all the way to the left it doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about.

Rod, thanks buddy for reply. engine running. light **** in auto dimmer wheel all the way left...good illumination. Turn **** to parking light setting and dash lights and radio screen go OUT.
Turn **** to lights on and still no illumination until you move the dimmer wheel all the way right, shy of dome lights coming on and it illuminates. normal? Just had clock spring replaced.600.00 went back to dlr with it. Said no error codes present. I don't want to get into a pee pee contest with dlr, Really nice people, but It does not seem normal. I naturally can't confirm with an owner cause don't know who will or can check theirs. I don't want to insist a prob. if not present. My concern is turning **** to lights on and things go dark on me. Rod if you will pls sir give me 5 min.of analysis time. I appreciate ya.
