We have a tech article to illustrate the power pack repair that John suggests. It is not difficult once the unit is removed from the car. Panelescent Instrument Panel and Electroluminescent Power Supply Repair (chrysler300club.com) Carl Bilter From: John Grady Hi, the ac power pack for dash lights is up high in driver kick panel . usually little metal thing with two wires coming out . white and orange . The orange is 12 v in when dimmer full on . The white is supposed to be 200-220 ac out . For the EL lighting . You can check in car with analog cheap meter on ac volts . one pin to ground one pin stuck into rear of white wire connector there . A capacitor inside goes bad , a white cylinder usually , —-if low volts . it is ok if 200 or more . The capacitor is usually .1 uF , replace with ..1 uF 600v ( usually 630v dc ok today ) . They vary a bit might look at it first ( different mfg?) Buy cap on line , do yourself or find radio guy or ham radio guy . I think one of our 300 guys advertises in mailing does this or sells rebuilt ones . One from junkyard will have same problem . Panasonic capacitors are best , Japanese quality . good luck , john g Sent from my iPhone not by choice
Sorry to bore and beat you all to death with this….but I am not a mechanic or electrician, lol So where I am right now is….really good push button lighting on both the shifter buttons, and the heater control buttons…but dash lights remain very very dim at max switch rotation. Ive been trying to twist and work the headlight switch many times. That DID help the button lighting. So….with very dim Dome lights, but are on….what is my next step? Thanks again all.
