SOURCE: dash light is out on 2005 malibu classic

If most of your dash lights up but a part of it doesn't, then you will have to replace a bulb. If none of the lights work, then you will have to replace the fuse for the instrument panel or for the parking lights.

It is the thumb wheel just to the right of the headlight switch. Runs up and down. Also just below air vent.

SOURCE: 1998 Chevy Malibu : Won't Start

I would check the fuel pump turn key on do not start or turn engine over just until dash lights up and you should hear a grunt sound come from back seat area if you do not hear this grunt your fuel pump is not working.Also if you have a check engine light on you should have your can scaned with a OBD 2 scan tool to retreve and faults the cars computer might be undrer going.

Where is the fuses for the dashbord lights on 1998 nissan pathfinder

The fuse should be located in the main chassis fuse panel, on the drivers side, beneath the dash area. Look for a removable panel of some sort. I believe the dash lights may be on the same circuit as your tail lights. If your tail lights still work, you might not have a blown fuse. Check to make sure you don't have the dimmer switch turned all the way down. A lot of people never use their dimmer switches and completely forget about them until the lights inadvertently get turned all the way down. If it's not the fuse or the dimmer, you may have a bad headlight switch or other wiring issue.

'97 Malibu, dash lights don't work

Check your fuses. The dash lights are on a different fuse. Also check dimmer switch. If its not one, then it is the other. Try working dimmer switch quickly back and forth( with the lights on when it's dark so you can see if they come on).

2003 Chevy Malibu. While driving down the road turn signal keeps clicking randomly.

what this means that either you have a short in the wire harness going to the turnsignal/dimmer switch assembly . or the switch contacts inside the dimmer switch itself are shorting. this would be a good place to check for the intermitant problem
