Post Dash Illumination doesn't lite up

Hello,
I just purchased an 85 928s automatic over the weekend. The car was rarely used and only has 55k miles on it. When I drove it home at night the instrument illumination as well as climate control and radio all lit up when I turn on the nighttime popup lights. Although I thought it was somewhat dim, at least it all lit up. Now nothing within the car lights up when I turn on the nightime pop up lights? I don't know if it's a fuse or dimmer switch. Any advice aybody may have would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Hello

First check the dimmer control which is a wheel located to the left of the steering wheel kinda under the dash. Don't confuse it wiht the one on the right, it is a wiper delay control (in theory).

If you go to the web site <a href="http://www.928gt.com" target="_blank">928 specialists</a> there is a link to their fuse and relay charts.

Welcome Benz.

Some additional advice is to read the Owner's Manual cover to cover - twice.

It was the dimmer just under the dash to the left as you said. It's even brighter than when I picked it up. Thanks.
