Dash Lights

2008 HHR SS - no mods
I've noticed that my dash lights sometimes fail to turn on after leaving my garage, no information in the driver information center, no radio lights, etc. Then sometimes they'll just come back on on their own, sometimes not, while driving. Other times the same lights will be very dim during the day and the dimmer switch on the dash has no effect on their brightness and dimmer switch has no effect when 'normal' bright at night. All other lights work, headlamps (in both daylight driving mode and regular night (auto on), tail lamps, initial 'start on' lamps, etc.

Dimmer switch bad?

All well and good but the I/P dimmer switch does not seem to have any effect when dash/radio lights are working - when they work at all.
