Hi everyone, I touched on this in a multi-question thread last year which was more about running boards always reverting to auto and got a few responses but the main discussion was the running boards. I need to address this issue. We are so used to it, we just deal with it...
2011 Expy EL Ltd. Basically stated: The interior lighting does not come on the way it should.
The only way I can get it to come on is if I use the brightness dial for the dash lights and turn it up all the way to force all the interior lights to come on at once. And even then, they don't just come on, but they have to be turned on by pressing them. In other words, then they behave "properly" when the dimmer dial is not turned up all the way. When the dimmer wheel is returned to being a dimmer, the interior lights go off.
As you can imagine, we'd like to fix it!
