1997 Nissan Altima. Dashboard lights.

While driving at night dashboard lights go off and on. The headlights and taillights stay on however. All electrical components work fine and do not go off and on {heater, radio, wipers etc}.

Problems with dashboard lights

The switch that you are talking about... the dimmer switch, must not be working. If you have warranty left, i suggest you take it in. If not, maybe find a good auto wrecker, and replace the switch yourself. I'm guessing they'll be expensive.
