Dashboard Issue with my 2006 Evo IX MR
This is a strange one and is progressively getting worse. Basically my Dimmer switch does not work, and hasn't worked for years so I never could figure out why but it never bothered me and I let it go as no major issue. These past couple of weeks however I noticed that my dash lights are always on, not matter what, so lights on, off, or just parking on the dash lights are always on. Also when I turn on my Head Lights the indicator light no longer works.
Any idea's?
Thanks fellas, video is below.

the dashlights meaning everything in your gauge cluster, speedo, tach, fuel, etc are always on all the time, that's normal, there's nothing wrong, thats why there is that little green light that comes on when you turn on the headlights to let you know you ACTUALLY have your lights on, as far as that green light not lighting up, that's probably just the bulb burned out and as far as your dimmer, probably bad dimmer switch or loose connection

what?When you do one click on the stalk(parking lights)try using dim adjuster. When the lights are off you cant adjust them. What headlight indicator you speak of? If you have fog lights then it illuminate. Thats the only thing I have in my car. Mine is an 8....so maybe it might be different?

Update I was driving home and my whole dash and center HVAC controls were getting dim and flashing between DIM and bright. IDK what that means but this is new.
