Default Instrument panel dimmer - RESOLVED
The instrument lights on my 2007 XK work but are dim and do not respond to the dimmer control (on the panel by my left knee). Can anyone suggest a fix for that? Thanks!

Try turning to OFF and see what happens. The dash may be on Night mode.

Cee Jay, you may be right as I haven't tried to adjust my Jag lately, but in my other cars, I can only adjust the dash lights when the dash is in night mode which is different from the headlights.

I had the same issue. I still don't understand 'night mode' but switching the headlights from auto to manual now allows me to control the dash illumination. Thank you for your answer.
