Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

This has happened to me a few times now and not sure why, but whey I turn my lights on, sometimes my dash lights come on, other times they dont. Sometimes after driving for a while they will turn themselves off then turn back on again later. Has anyone else ran into this on their car? Jason

POST 2Original post

They only come on if the ambient light inside the cabin falls below a certain level.

POST 3Original post

There is a sensor in the left hand dial of the instrument cluster that controls the brightness of the dash lights, Depending on how the light hits that the dash lights will fade and come back.

POST 4Original post

This is the dash autodim feature. At dusk and dawn where the outside light intensity is near the system's threshold, it alternates on and off like you described. I think it is a useless feature and annoying at times as you have probably noticed. Your dash lights are functioning properly. I wonder if you can turn this feature off with the dealer's PIWIS ? I had a dealer courtesy base Cayman (non-S) for a few days and the dash lights stay on when the headlights are on. I guess the deletion of the autodim feature was a cost cutting measure on the non-S.

POST 5Original post

Is this part of the Self-Dimming Mirrors & Rain Sensor option?

POST 6Original post

I don't think so. I don't have the self dimming mirrors or rain sensing and mine does the same thing

POST 7Original post

Thanks for the info. Now here is another one. Is this somehow related to the vanity lights in the visors? Most of the timethe passenger one will not light up.

POST 8Original post

I think you can adjust it with PCM & Sport Chrono +.

POST 9Original post

It says in the manual for the Cayman S that this is standard feature - so varies in intensity
