The panel dimmer on my 1980 Malibu doesn't seem to work. Its stuck at about half brightness, can't turn it up or down. Replaced the headlight switch thinking that was my issue but that did not fix the problem. Also, the dash lights come on the moment the key is on, not with the headlights. Maybe these 2 problems are related?
I've been having other issues in this same circuit. The interior lights only work with the headlight switch, not the door switches; and it sounds like my key alarm is constantly on, but very, very quiet. And i mean constantly, with the car running or off, keys in or out, doors open or closed, and lights on or off.
As you can imagine, i seem to blow the courtesy lights fuse quite often. Can't narrow it down to something in particular, aside from this key alarm always buzzing, potentially heating the fuse up to the point where it melts.
