Dashboard lights go out when headlights on, switch is fine
Hi all,
I've searched as many threads as I could find and can't see an answer to this one. When I turn on the lights on my 01 C5 the dash lights go out. Last time this happened (a few years ago) it was the multifunction headlight/turn signal switch. Not this time. The switch is fine. Relay 43 is fine. Fuse 6 is fine. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help...

Instrument Panel Brightness Control
This feature controls the brightness of the instrument panel lights. The **** for this feature is located on the left side of the instrument panel. Push and release the **** and it will pop out. Turn the **** clockwise to brighten the lights or counterclockwise to dim them. Be sure not to have this **** turned all the way down with the lamps on during the day. Your Driver Information Center (DIC) may not be visible.
Parade Mode
The instrument panel brightness **** has an added feature called parade mode to assist you in seeing certain instrument panel controls if your headlamps are on in the daylight. Turn the **** counterclockwise to dim the instrument panel lights or clockwise to brighten the lights. This will occur only with the parking lamps or headlamps on.
