Divine Time is the scripture reading clock that inspires! Each hour rings in with a different Biblical Scripture, and it even has a light sensor to keep it quiet at night
I let someone drive my car and the lights were left on overnight - then when I drove it at night my radio, clock and lights would surge on and off - the next day it wouldn't start easily, we had a local auto parts store read our codes and they checked the battery and alternator - after I replaced the battery, we noticed there was still a light on without the car turned on - anyway now the lights are back in automatic off and the car runs normal. Wish I would have checked if any lights or overhead lights were left on first before I got the new battery.
Have you tried to replace the headlight switch? I ask that because you say the radio and clock go out, with the headlights on clock and radio go dim, so not so bright at night but bright in day to see them. So maybe the switch is bad?
The clock works, correct? It is just not illuminating when your headlights are turned on? If this is the case then it is most likely that you have 2 burned out bulbs. The forester clock bulb is Sylvania bulb part #2723
Hope that helps! I have a bunch of clock related info on my website www.autoclockrepair.com. Let me know if I can be of assistance.
My 2001 Toyota Sequoia just lost all dash lights last night too. I've tried checking the fuses in the cabin, and none of them look blown. Did you ever get an answer to this problem?
Did you change your dimmer switch? When my rear lights and dash lights stopped working the fuse was blown, but the transistor inside the dimmer switch (just left of your steering wheel) was blown also. (had my dad check it with the multimeter). You'll need a narrow flat head screw driver to pry it out, start at the bottom, that's where the metal clip that holds it in is. Cost me $5 at the junk yard.
Hope this solves your problem, annoying isn't it to not be able to drive at night.
