Dash Lights Out!

Dash Lights Out!
while driving all the lights in my dashboard went out, first I thought of the normal functionality of the auto lights but I notice that all the outside lights (headlights, signals, tails) were still on I play a little with the switch off and on and all the outside lights work but the dasboard still out....
I checked the diming switch and they still out...
Fuse or fuses? all ok...
Any ideas? has anyone experience this? could be the auto switch itself?

outside its cloudy today, but what about if you skip the auto mode and you switch directly to on position arent they suppose to be on all the time?

A more simple approach would be to just throw a ball cap or something over the sensor as was mentioned in the link I posted earlier and see if they come on.

after double checking all the fuses... they all ok by the way, I waited for the night fall I start it up and all the lights are on as usual so I believe that all the lights rely on the sensor, if you really want to see the lights on the dashboard just trow something on the sensor and there you have it.... Thanks again 5picker

I fixed that light problem this way: Take black electrical tape and cover the right hand half of the sencer on the dash. The head lights will work as before off the left hand half that is not covered and the dash lights will come on when the head lights are on......
It works for me!

I'm up any ideas you guys may have not only for this but for anything else that sound interesting, Keep it coming!

I noticed that issue just as I was about to drive off the dealer lot last year in my (then) new 2010. Apparently the computer and I disagree on when it's dark enough to have instrument lighting. I kind of wish they'd left it so the dash lights came on when I turned on the outside lights. It's caught lots of folks though.

I have a little black bottle cap over my sensor for this - going to try the right half with tape like you suggest so it will only affect the dash lights.
