    What controls the brightness of the instrument lights? Mine do not work at all (maybe a rheostat turned to off). The circuit breaker is good.

    There should be a dimmer switch. Not sure of the location on a T2.

    I have pushed, pulled, turned, yanked, twisted, and flipped every knob in the cab. Still no lights. I'm sure it has a rheostat but unless it is under the hood I can't find it.

    Check your fuse box, maybe the fuse for the lights blew. If not, maybe there is a loose wire behind dash.

    Check the manual and see if it shows location of dimmer.
    My Pete has a knob on dash.
    My Toyota has the edge of a wheel that protrudes from the dash that controls brightness.
    You might have an up/down button.
    I have not operated a kw.
