Is there any other 10 series owner here that their Electroluminescent Dash Panel doesn't light up? I've flipped the switch on and off under the dash and...nothing.

That's a first here. It's only momentarily on and fades out quickly after entry with fob in hand. Possibly warranty, maybe something as simple as a loose connector.

Mine wasn't working when I first got it. I had to flip the switch to turn it on but that fixed it.

Remember, it only lights up when you open the door.

Are you in a very bright room? I remember that in really bright light, it's hard to see the lights go off.

Try flipping the switch in each direction and try opening the door. I have no idea which way is on lol.

I've tried flipping the switch on and off at night to see if I could see anything, but it doesn't come on when I open the door. Thinking about taking it back to the dealer to see what's wrong..

Yeah, there's probably something wrong with it if the switch isn't working.

Happy New Year to you and all of the other 10 Series owners who posted here this year.

Nice pic, like that low angle and lighting, really shows some of the best lines and curves.

And when the headlights are switched from "Off" to "Auto". Good way to test it while the vehicle is running.

Yes, and should when the doors open, however you are probably opening up door, sitting in and pressing engine start so it appears to work during start.

For you new members who are having trouble turning this feature ON, and you haven't scrolled trough the many forum pages, there is a circular ON/OFF switch under the steering column, feel around for that.
