Dashlights: not working when headlights turned on
Driving to work this am. Lights on, dash lights normal. I notice the dash lights flicker on/off a few times, stay on about 5 min, then flickered off and now do not work when the light switch for the headlights or parking lights is turned on. All the lights controlled by this dash are off including, dash lights, radio light, HVAC light, DIC, lighted window/lock switches on the doors. HUD works fine. All the components like the headlights, foglights, HVAC, and radio themselves work fine, just not the lights. Now when the headlights/parking lights are off on the turn signal stalk, and I turn the car on or off, all the dash lights do come on normally, they just turn off whenever I use the light switch on the turn signal. By the way, the intensity control on the dash is set at full gain so its not that.
My guess: a short in the light switch on the column? BCM? Passenger door module? I doubt the ignition switch. I searched and found some others with these symptoms but no comment about causes or remedy. Any thoughts??
