Default Interior Daytime Lights

I am having a problem with my daytime interior lights. All of the lights on the dash, instrument cluster, and A/C controls do not light up anymore during the day. They will all light up fine if I turn on the parking lights or headlights, but if the lights are off I get nothing. I checked every single fuse and am out of ideas... Anyone else run into this problem before? Any ideas?

In my 01 coupe the dash lights up right away, day or not, lights on or not, they just get brighter when I put the lights on, so maybe there is two different styles?

Yeah I am in America... Just to elaborate and to give an example - I have the regular A/C controls not the digital one. There are buttons on it for A/C on etc... these lights no longer light up either, so I don't know if its on during the day...

Try turning the dimming **** clockwise... might be as easy as that!

Tried it! The interior light will turn on after the 'click' but no other lights get brighter... I was thinking maybe the dimmer switch is bad???

Is there a single wire or fuse that controls this? I've checked all the fuses and they are all good...

Alright I have narrowed down my problem to just the A/C unit that is not lighting up during the day. Is this tied to the removal of the factory radio in any way? Basically during the day I don't know if I have the A/C on or not because the indicator lights do not light up on the unit. Wierd thing is, they light up fine if I turn the headlights on...

I wonder if there is a fuse that might have blown in the fuse box down by the passanger foot well? Might be worth checking.

It is only the A/C control unit that seems to have a problem. The indicator lights do not show up at all during the day. Is there a seperate internal bulb for this perhaps? Maybe thats why its not showing anything?
