Ive had the same problem and come to find out after many many hours of research. My fuse was loose. So I took them all out under the dash and in the engine bay, and pushed them in tightly and of course made sure nun are blown. If not check your battery cables. If not may be alternator. Good Luck

Mine is even worse - The lights will also dim for a second every now and then for no reason. I turned my info thing on "volts" and it will go from 14 down into the 12's then back up. That's when the light dims. hopefully a new battery will fix it.
