Ctcl-153p will not dim lights - Lutron CTCL-153P-WH - CFL & LED Dimmer, Slide/Rocker, 120V, 600W

Interior Lights Dimming Circuit Description
VF Displays
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the instrument cluster activates its VF display. The instrument cluster also coordinates the display illumination for the radio (IRC), the cellular telephone (PHN), and the climate control Panel (CCP) anytime the ignition switch is in the RUN position.
Incandescent Dimming 1 (INC DIM 1)
The INC DIM 1 consists of lamps powered by CKT 8 (GRY). These are referred to as the park lamp backlighting because they are only active if the park lamps are on and the ambient light sensor indicates darkness.
Incandescent Dimming 2 (INC DIM 2)
The INC DIM 2 output is used as a general interior light source and an illuminated entry feature that provides interior lighting. The INC DIM 2 consists of lamps powered by CKT 1244 (BRN). When one or more of the following conditions occur, the INC DIM 2 lamps will be active:
• The interior lamps switch is active.
• The park lamps are on and the ambient light sensor indicates darkness
• The ignition switch is in the RUN position and the ambient light sensor indicates darkness
• A Class 2 message is received from the body control module (PZM) indicating that the courtesy lamps are active.
Dimming
The instrument cluster controls all of the interior dimming functions. The instrument cluster receives an ambient light level input from the ambient light sensor and determines whether it is light or dark. If the ambient light sensor is inoperative, the instrument cluster will assume a condition of darkness. Dimming of the VF displays is only allowed when the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the park lamps are on, and the ambient light sensor indicates darkness. If all conditions for the VF dimming are met, the instrument cluster uses the input from the potentiometer in the headlamp switch to determine the level of dimming. The dimming level is sent to the radio (IRC), the cellular telephone (PHN), and the climate control panel (CCP) via a Class 2 message. These modules then adjust the dimming level of their VF display. The instrument cluster provides dimming control of the incandescent lighting through the INC DIM 1 and INC DIM 2 outputs. The instrument cluster provides dimming control of the electronic PRNDL LED through CKT 1382 (PPL/WHT). The dimming level will very based on the potentiometer in the headlamp switch whenever the parklamps are on and the ambient light sensor indicates darkness, regardless of the position of the ignition switch.

Interior Lights Dimming System Check
Step
Action
Normal Result(s)
Abnormal Result(s)*
1
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
Place the interior lamps switch in the ON position.
All incandescent lighting on the INC DIM D2 output turns ON. INC DIM 2 includes all of the lighting on CKT 1244 (BRN), which is the backlighting for the headlamp switch and the floodlighting for the vehicle doors.
Incandescent Lamps Inoperative
2
Place the interior lamps switch in the OFF position.
Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
INC DIM 2 lighting turns OFF.
All of the VF displays light. VF displays include the following components (if equipped):
• The radio (IRC)
• The cellular telephone (PHN)
• The driver information center (DIC)
• The instrument cluster (IPC)
• The climate control panel (CCP)
• Vacuum Fluorescent Displays Inoperative - All
• Incandescent Lamps Always On
3
Cover the ambient light sensor with the twilight OFF.
Place the headlamp switch in the PARK position.
The park lamps turn ON.
All of the VF displays dim in order to match the current dimming control level. All of the incandescent lighting for INC DIM 1 and INC DIM 2 light at the current dimming control level. INC DIM 1 includes all of the park lamp backlighting on CKT 8 (GRY) which is composed of the following components:
• The radio (IRC)
• The front cigar lighter
• The steering wheel controls
• The driver information center (DIC)
• The climate control panel (CCP)
• The instrument cluster (IPC)
• The heated seat switches
• The auxiliary blower switches
• The ash tray lamps
• The PRNDL lamp
Exterior Lights System Check
4
Rotate the headlamp switch dimming control in both directions.
All of the VF displays and all of the incandescent lighting dim and brighten in response to the headlamp switch dimming control.
Vacuum Fluorescent Displays Do Not Dim with Instrument Panel Dimmer Switch
* Refer to the appropriate symptom diagnostic table for the applicable abnormal result.

is it adjusted by the light switch left on bright right dim all when lights are on all dash lights will dim thats normal

Dimming Microwave Light - Breville Support

brevilleusasupport.com/bmo734xl/dimming-microwave-light/

Apr 10, 2014 - Occasionally, when using power settings that are lower then the normal 100% cooking power, the light inside the microwave cavity may dim.

I have had a similar problem my light is very dim after contacting manufacturer I was told if the fridge freezer is still working fine then just put up with the dim light.

Your circuit lights may be bright or dim according to how your electrical system was set up. It may dim when lights are off and get bright when lights are on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when your installed the o.system the system indicated you what name you will in the computer. Remember ?
You must introduce.Otherwise you must press the key f2 and disable the password in the set-up
God bless you

it happen when power problem comes check power adaptor and battery both

For 100% certainty, I would call Lutron's tech support at 1-800-523-9466. They're available 24/7 and can probably troubleshoot it more effectively than through this text-based dialogue. However...

I have three guesses...

1) Check the minimum load. The minimum load for those products is about 40-Watts. If there isn't enough lamp wattage pulling electricity through the dimmer, the dimmer may not have enough juice to keep itself powered up... and then shut down (hence any flashing you may see). If the issue only happens when the lights are at full (or close to full) brightness, then that's most likley your issue. To solve, either increase the lamp wattage, or replace with a dimmer that contains a neutral wire such as the MAELV-600M.

2) Check the load type. The dimmer's are rated for incandescent & halogen. If these are LED or CFL lamps, you are going t see issues. For dimming performance, either convert the lamps to incandescent / halogen, or investigate their new Diva dimmer for CFLs & LEDs: DVCL-153P-

3) If neither of those solve the problem, the next guess is to check the wiring. I wouldn't expect this to cause any "flashing" but in the wiring circuit, each device had a blue screw attached to it, and you need to make sure that the blue screws are wired/connected to each other and ONLY to each other - otherwise "automatic" dimming can take place.

But again, the only way to be certain is to use their tech support. I highly encourage you to use that.
