Strange dash lights, whats going on?

Recommended Posts

Ok, so if i have the head lights off, the dimmer switch fades the light Ring around the headlight switch.

And it doesnt always fade the dash lights when the headlight are on, sometimes only when the engine is off or just ignition??

 

And the brake warning light stays on VERY faintly after taking the handbrake off?

 

And the heater controll back lights only work when they want to?

 

Whats going on??

Ill try to explain it a little better, if i start the car, and the healight switch is light up, the dimmer switch will DIM the actual switch, but if i turn the car off, but leave the keys in the ignition, the dimmer switch THEN dims the dash lights?
