hi guys i have a 89 with dash lights problems dash lights up ok( right side dimmer than left) until i turn the headlights on then no dash lights if i drive in a well lit area like lots of street lights etc they come on for a bit but fade back out to nothing shortly after also i can hold a flashlight(even my cell phone) on a little hole on the upper left part of dash is that a sensor of some sort? the guy i bought it from said it was because of the after market stereo that doesn't sound right but i don't know this is my first vette thanks in advance for any help

Sounds like the dimmer sensor is bad or going bad. Is it ok in the daytime?

yes it works in the daylight..........just the right side is dimmer than the left but it works also if there is a little bit of daylight left outside you can see them.............only if it's completely dark with headlights on do they go out
