Dash lights out
Just bought an 09 SCREW two weeks ago, this morning I turned the lights on and no dash lights came on. The gauges work, the gauges wont light up and the radio hvac won't light up. Everything seems to be functioning, the hvac, radio, warning lights, just all the backlighting. Replaced the fuses to no affect. Any ideas? Hate to go back to the dealer and have them keep it a week for soementhing simple.

Dimmer will adjust all the way to the right and turn on dome lights but that's it, one its moved the dome lights will turn off but no dash illumination whatsoever.
As an added fact: I left from lunch and the lights came on, played with the dimmer switch everything looked fine then they suddenly went dark again and did not return. Could it be a bad dimmer switch & if so how hard is that to replace on these?

Thank you Franzia, I am officicially announcing my candidacy for dumb*** of the month. Covered the sensor and they worked, at lunch I parked under a bridge and then drove out into the sun so that explains everything, this is certainly not one of Ford's best ideas for me in the truck as the windows were just tinted and it was overcast and not really comfortable to see the guages this morning.
