Well this may seem obvious but there is a knob that dims that stuff.

 

[turbolaserAWDrs]

are you serious?? would you be able to tell where its located?

Just to the left of the steering wheel, next to the gauges, the one with the picture of the lightbulb with an arc above it.
Gitcha an owner's manual. NOW.

There's also a brain switch located somewhere on the moon. It comes in the "off" position from the factory.

I got a better problem. Everything to the right of my gauge cluster doesnt light up. For example, the hazard light switch, the defrost button, the rear wiper control and all the HVAC controls. I was wondering what could be the problem with that. I checked fuses and connections. any other things that could be it?


EDIT: My gauge cluster lights up fine.

On a 90, it _could_ just be all those bulbs are burned out.... my rear defroster light's out on my '94.
