Issue with IPC Illumination
Recently my IPC illumination started to intermittently work. The following things appear to work fine:
The Following things do not work:
Things I have checked:
I have been reading the shop manuals which say that if the illumination doesn't work, I will likely need to replace the IPC unit. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this, and if so what is the fix. Do I just need to replace the bulbs, is there a relay somewhere I can check?
I will check the connections tomorrow, I don't think this is the issue as everything else works.
If I do have to replace the IPC, how much should that run?
- Head Lights (high and low beam)
- warning lights (check engine, brake, etc).
- Blinkers
- All gauges
- No IPC DTC codes
The Following things do not work:
- Dash Illumination
- AC Illumination
- Door controls illumination
- Radio illumination
- Dimmer switch (except when turn all the way for courtesy lights, those work)
Things I have checked:
- DTC codes
- Fuses (all were in tact)
- disconnected battery (just for good measure)
- Tried to turn off Twilight, car must be Canadian, cause the option to turn it off wasn't there
