Default dash light

92; 96024V. Should dash be illuminated all the time as is on my 940. It isn't.

Hi,

I think not as mine are not on until the switch is moved to parking lights.
This on a V90 1997.
Soon as you have full lights on though, then your dash lights will be on. Youwill notice the sterio display will dim (night operation) and lights for heat, gear selector etc will come on.

Damn annoying when going though long tunnels and bridges..!

Mine illuminates when you switch the sidelights or headlights on.

Yes, and my 940 does as well. Soon as the ignition is on, so are the dash lights.

Not, by the looks of it, the 960 or V90 though..
