Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / January 2006Automatic light sensor not working
I have a 1998 olds silhouette with 100k miles. Lately, when I'm driving at night, the interior dashboard does not light up. It seems the twilight senor is not kicking in. When I tried to manually switch the dashboard light to come on, it still doesn't so I'm driving around without dashboard lights, then if I hit a road bump, it might kick in and light up. Sometimes, the dash light would blink on and off (again at night). Does anyone know whats wrong, or is there something that I can change? Thanks in advance. The light sensor on your machine is for controlling the daytime running lamps. Per the schematic it has nothing directly to do with the dash light dimming function. Based on your description there could be a loose connector in the circuitry or else the headlamp and instrument panel lamp dimmer "switch" (separate functions in one assembly) has a problem. That would be my pick for a place >I have a 1998 olds silhouette with 100k miles. Lately, when I'm driving at >night, the interior dashboard does not light up.

Do you have access to a service manual for your machine? If you are going to tackle this problem on your own a service manual is a must in my opinion. > Silver, > I just don't know where to look.
