^ Yeah, most likely. I don't know if it's the reason why mine malfunctions sometimes, but usually when my cluster lights go out I just mess with the dimmer switch a little bit and push the switch as far up as it could go and it works

When the dimmer switched is messed with it comes on sometimes, Guess the fix would just be a new dimmer switch?

Does jumping the red wire to the black wire in the dimmer switch connector solve the problem? If so, replace the dimmer switch.

im a little confused, I pulled out the dimmer switch and pushed on the plug thinking a wire was loose or something, and the dash lights turned on for a second then went off, What do you meen about jumping the red wire to the black? there are 2 red wires I think, And 1 black
