Why do I have problems with the electrical dim headlights, no tail lights. The turn signals & brake lights work but the instrument panel won't light. Have checked all fuses & ground wires. What do I do to correct this?
With out tracing the wiring/voltages its not possible to be sure, but the likely cause is the headlight switch ... assuming you didn't miss any fuses/circuit breakers. Turn signals and brake lights are on an entirely different circuit; so thats not really relevant. The panel, tail, and head lights are all operated thru the same switch (though likely different contacts in that switch), so to be sure you should verify power into the switch vs no power out before replacing it. Hope that helps.

short or faulty ground check wires

please advice, have you solved the problem? I have the same one on my Sebring. Many thanks.
SOURCE: Hello, I just noticed the
CHECK THE BULB SOCKET WITH A VOLT METER. IF YOU ARE GETTING VOLTAGE, THEN CHECK THE BULBS WITH AN OHM METER, & SEE IF THE BULBS ARE REALLY GOOD. IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN VOLT/OHM METER, IT WOULD PROBABLY BE CHEAPER TO JUST REPLACE BOTH BULBS.

Your vehicle CANNOT be wired for a trailer without using the converter box. The only vehicles that do not require a converter box are the vehicles that use the stop lamp bulb as a turn signal. Your vehicle is equipped with SEPARATE stop lamp and turn signal bulbs.
To make the converter box work correctly, it must be wired according to the instructions to BOTH the stop lamps AND the turn lamps. The tail (or PARK) lamps DO NOT go through the converter box.
Your trailer uses the SAME bulb for stop and turn - THIS is the reason you need a converter.
The wire color for both your LEFT TURN and your RIGHT TURN are LIGHT GREEN/TAN. Although the wire colors are the same at the bulb sockets, these are SEPARATE circuits and must be wired to the correct wire at the converter box. (LEFT and RIGHT) The converter box will have an INPUT connection for EACH of these.
The wire color for your STOP lamps is WHITE/TAN. The converter box should only have one INPUT wire that connects to this. It doesn't matter which side of the vehicle you connect this wire to. All of the stop lamps are on the same circuit.
The converter will then have only one wire for LEFT turn and stop (usually YELLOW) this is the wire that needs to go to your trailer connector for left turn and stop.
The RIGHT turn and stop will most likely be GREEN coming out of the converter.
