Tonight I get into my car, turn on the headlights, and the instrument panel turns off (including radio and DIC). Now, when I first get in the car, everything is lit up normally, but ONLY when I turn on the headlights, they all turn off (but radio still works, just no lights anywhere, headlights work too). As soon as I turn off the headlights, the gages are lit up normally like when the key is still in the ignition.
I checked the "instrument panel" fuse and it looked good, I even replaced it for the hell of it with the 10amps it requires, and no luck.
Aside from the mentioned dash dimmer, the only other thing I can figure is possibly a bad ground in the dash light circuit. You'll probably need a shop manual to locate it.
