What Causes Half of the Dashboard Backlight to Be On and Half Off?
1 Answers
Dashboard backlight being partially lit and partially unlit can be caused by various reasons. Here is the relevant information: Possible Causes: Damaged dashboard illumination lights; open circuit in the dashboard power supply wiring, or a blown dashboard power supply fuse. Inspection: First, check the dashboard power supply fuse. If it is blown, it can be replaced. Remove the dashboard—the illumination lights are usually located at the back of the dashboard—and replace the unlit ones. If only individual lights are unlit, it generally indicates that the fuse and wiring are not the issue. Solution: Since dashboard backlights are soldered onto the circuit board, replacing them individually requires high technical skill. If the entire dashboard backlight is off, it may not necessarily mean the LEDs are faulty. It is recommended to have the issue diagnosed at a professional repair facility to determine the exact cause.
