Default Dash Light Problems

Ok, so when I turn my key, the dash lights up nice, but when I turn the lights on it goes dim, and dimmer doesnt do a thing when I turn it....Could this be a fuse, or possibly a new dimmer switch?...I have not tried anything yet, but maybe someone has had the same problem and can let me know...Thank you...Jess.

There is a sensor in the upper left corner that dims your dash lights when it gets dark. It may be dirty. Try shining a flashlight into it and see if your lights get brighter. You may have do take the cluster out and apart to clean it. It is a small square that looks like a solar panel.
