Here are the solutions for the dashboard backlight of Maxus V80 not working: 1. The dashboard backlight switch is not turned on: The solution is to simply turn on the backlight switch. 2. The dashboard circuit board is burnt: You need to replace the dashboard with a new one to use it. 3. The dashboard illumination light is damaged: Disassemble the dashboard. The illumination lights are usually located at the back of the dashboard. Replace the non-working illumination light. 4. The dashboard power supply fuse is blown: Check the dashboard's electrical fuse. If it's faulty, replace it with a new one. Additional information: The dashboard is a high-definition flat panel or structural component that installs instruments and related devices. It can be categorized into screen-type dashboard, frame-type dashboard, channel-type dashboard, and cabinet-type dashboard based on its form.
Last time I drove the Maxus V80, I also encountered the issue of the dashboard backlight not working, which was particularly nerve-wracking when driving on the highway at night. Don’t rush to dismantle the dashboard just yet—you can check a few things first: see if the brightness adjustment knob for the lights was accidentally turned off; this knob is located below the left side of the steering wheel. Then, open the fuse box near the driver’s left knee area and look for the fuse related to the dashboard backlight. Refer to the icons on the cover or the manual to locate the exact position. If the fuse is blown, simply replace it with a new one of the same specification. If everything seems normal, the issue might be a loose connector behind the dashboard, requiring the removal of the dashboard panel to reconnect it securely. In my case, it was a poor connection—once I reinserted it firmly, the backlight worked again. If you can’t figure it out, it’s safer to take it to a 4S shop for professional diagnosis, as DIY disassembly can easily damage the clips.
