2001 V70XC - Lights at dashboard and center console

Post by xHeart »

The day are shorter and nights colder. The dashboard and center console does not light up right away - delays coming on as ambient gets colder. It did not light up the entire drive this morning. There are no obvious failure of functions such as radio, heated seat, seat adjustment, fan, heater, clock, defrost, climate control, etc.

Could it be relay related? TIA!

How you tried to adjust the intensity (the rightmost wheel)?

Also the ambient light sensor may go bad, I guess.
