2006 Legacy radio and temp display not getting bright

Featured Replies

The 2006 Legacy has a new problem. The LED lights on the radio and temperature display will not go to 'bright' when the headlights are turned off.

This makes it hard to see the displays in the daylight and impossible to see in direct sunlight.

Anyone have any ideas?

How about the dash lights, can you control their brightness with the dimmer? Not sure about the 2006 but earlier models have an 'illumination control module' which controls the voltage on the illumination wires to the radio and dash, etc. In the 90's subies its a small black box about the size of a pack of cards with one harness connector attached. Has a few other names such as illumination controller, illumination module, etc.
