I have a 2009 Camry. The dash lights are so dim during the day that I can't read the mileage or the temp. They also are very dim while driving at night. This problem just started about 3 weeks ago. There is also a maint. reqd. light on and according to the manual, it indicates an oil change is needed - I still have over 1700 miles to go before I need an oil change - I change my oil every 3000 miles. My car has no way to adjust the brightness of the dash lights, so I can't fix this problem that way - any ideas?

    Thank you for the response. I'll contact my dealer for an appointment to get this repaired.
    Will this be under warranty even though I purchased this car as a pre-owned?

On this vehicle the dash automatically dims with an "Ambient Light Sensor"
It has likely failed and needs replacement.under warranty.
Thanks!!

I have a 2009 Jeep Liberty Unlimited. All my dash warning lights came on, wipers start wiping, head lights dim, all my gauges shut off, radio comes on and off but the vehicle continues driving fine.

I suggest you try one of those instant download manuals. My nephew bought one for me when my car broke and we could fix it all by ourselves with the manual costing $10. This website reliable-store.com is very good for this.
?Try it.

Hello, I drive a toyota camry. The last two days, everytime I start my car it will beep 4 times, and then tonight while I was driving home it did it again, only while I was driving. No dash lights on, not...

Beeping can often be a reminder that the car is due for a service, or that there is a fault with the vehicle and it is trying to remind you to visit a service centre. Check your dash for any warning lights or service messages.

2009 lacrosse...compass, clock and milage lights sometimes stay real dim and then later pop up to normal brightness so I can read them...what goes ?

Starting car in garage turns on headlights which makes believe it is dark out and therefore dims dash lights. When car is out of garage it switches to running lights which allow dash lights to get brighter. I guess I should have figured that !!!
