Default All interior lights out - ideas?

When I turn the parking or headlights on, all interior lights go out (except radio). The only thing that was different between the time they worked and didn't work was the hazard lights were engaged for a few minutes.

Have you checked the fuse(s) already?

No, I didn't. :o I was thinking the fact that they work when the lights are off that it would rule out a fuse. I just looked in the owner's manual and I'm not even seeing a specific fuse for them.

Have to suggest the obvious here....Did you inadvertantly turn the dimmer switch down? (although I think that controls the radio display too).

Hey don't feel too bad, it got me last year too.

GB Vette remembers I'm sure. :o

Luckily I figured it out before posting though

no big deal! The wife comes in the house the other day freaking out that all of the interior lights in her Z71 Tahoe were out. I calmly went out, flipped the switch and she looked :o . I only know this becuase I've done it so many times while detailing it's not funny!

Glad you found the problem. FYI, my radio does not dim with the dimmer switch either. I think it broke somewhere along the way.
