The lights on the radio are dimmed with the instrument panel dimmer control so usually they are fed with a separate 12 volt signal that is separate from the main radio power. It may have a separate fuse but may not. If it's not a fuse it could be a loose connector going to the radio, assuming the rest of the instrument panel lights are working correctly. I suppose it is also possible that the dimmer control has two sections, one for the radio and one for the panel lights, and the section for the radio is bad. Run the dimmer control back and forth stop to stop a few times, push on it etc. to see if that effects it. I suspect it is somewhere in the dimmer circuit.
I am not sure if I can help but have you tryed replaceing the dimmer switch or checking the connection to the dimmer you should be able to bypass the dimmer and the dash lights should come on bright also are you talking about the dimmer on the dash or the headlight dimmer I am thinking you mean the dimmer on the dash
when the car is first started the car will go through a light test then the lights will turn off unless there is a probem with any of the systems on the car then the light for that system will turn on otherwise the lights should remain off
No insult intended, but are you sure the lights on dash aren't just dimmed out? I fell for that one when it went through the car wash. Wiping down everything one of them rolled the dash dimmer. Good luck. And that inj looks like an abreviation for injector. That needs to be looked into cause something or an injector is shorted. good luck
i have replaced my dimmer roller switch to solve my problem with the dash bord light flickering and dimming by them selfs .. that or just flip (smack) the roller switch for temp inprovement untill you decide to install a new dimming switch..?
