Default Interior dimming switch not working

Hey everyone.

The interior dimming switch on my c6 was working fine ... I'd push it in if I wanted the cabin lights on and push it back out to turn the lights off and they would dim the tach lights.

Recently, the switch does not seem to dim the lights anymore or turn on the cabin lights at request. The lights still go on and off by themselves when exiting the vette, just not when I push the button.

Could just be a malfunction, but I wanted to check with everyone ... any ideas? Has this happened to anyone? Any help is appreciated!

Make sure you haven't dimmed the lights all the way down with the same ****/pushbutton.

That's all I could think of short of a faulty switch.

Good Luck.

I would agree with the above said. Is the dimmer switch all the way down? Can you give some more information on this?

Please let me know if you need me to help and I will do what I can to do so.

Good luck,

Thank you for your responses ... the lighting on the tach is still nice and bright, so I don't think i'ts dimmed down all the way. Thing is, I can't seem to dim it if I wanted to by turning the switch left and right.

The other little issue with the same button is that I sometimes need to turn on the lights inside the cabin for whatever reason and I would push the dimmer **** and they'd come on. I'd push it again and the cabin lights would turn off.

Well, the **** switch/button is not turning the cabin lights on or off nor is it dimming the tach lights.

Hope this helps clarify ... I'll try your suggestions meanwhile and I'll let you know what happened.

Thanks!
