Hi.

My warning lights and indicator lights on my dash board have suddenly got very dim to the point of nearly not being able to see them.
Everything else on the dash is fine.

Any Ideas?

Cheers

Richard,

Thanks for reply, but that switch only dims the back lighting of the dials.

It's the intensity or the warning lights/ indicators that is the problem.

You can also see a slight flickering in their dimness as if there is an earth problem.

Press "Trip Reset" button while holding down the ignition switch and press "Trip reset" three times, which brings combimeter to self diagnostic mode.

its below the video

Yes, as Daewar wrote. It is also noted in the video description.
