06 Malibu LT Dash lights shut off
Everytime I start the car the daytime running lights come on. I know thats normal. But last night the dash lights turned off.I messed with the head light switch nothing, messed with the dimmer, nothing. Shut the car off took the key out and the restarted the car, dash lights came back on with daytime lights like they should. Drove the car back home from the store same trip and again the dash lights went out. Once I got home I shut the car off and restarted it and the dash lights came back on with head lights. I let the car run for like 10 min and nothing happened. Even turning the head lights on by hand switch didn't effect it. It does have the day light sensor on the dash but it really doesn't need it cause of the daytime light system.Is there a module for the light system or is it tied into body control module?

Hi, gm vech. are elec.complex with logic that is all there own. im a retired ford tech, and gm would drive me crazy sometimes. now some ideas, your dash light are controlled with an ecm, keep in mind, your dashlights and tail lights are on the same circut. i would check your batt. cables, if your ground cable has a high resistance it could cause issues. in fords they had bad dimmer switches that would cause the same issue. if you have someone with an obd2scanner it might have a code.hope that helps.
