Default C7 dash lights

2014 Stingray . The dash light will intermittently go off . Sometimes could be after an hour , or 10 minutes . Will at times come back on in a few seconds , may be 20 minutes before they come back on . They don't dim - just totally off . The dash dimmer is set to the highest position . Anyone else having this problem ? Don't know where to begin to even troubleshoot

The problem could be the auto light sensor located on top of the dash. Part #16

My car dims the dash significantly at dusk and dawn. Doesn't seem to correctly interpret the lighting. Is yours happening at these times?

No - it happens in the middle of the day and way past dusk . I think it is a loose connection , but nearly impossible to get under there to check

Hope you can find the source of the problem. I’m sure a number of people will be interested in what you find out.

Please share the solution when you get it. I'm just impressed it's been 7 months and it's still not fixed... I wouldn't be able to stand that not working properly for more than a couple weeks. Maybe the cars been stored for the winter though?!

Guys, check out my thread. It is a similar issue that my local dealership will end up fixing. There is a possible solution in one of the responses by a fellow member of the forum.
