I have a 2016 Mitsubishi outlander and can not find where to brighten or dim the panel lights at night when I turn on the car. When I turn on at night the lights the panel goes super dim and can't see if in drive park etc or radio station or what thermostat is set at. Mechanic's Assistant: Have you checked the fuse? The fuse? Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Outlander yourself? What have you tried so far? Just bought the car and never had a vehicle that I can't find a switch to either brighten or dim. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? No thats all .. thank you

My car is only 3 years old. Should I be suspicious that the starter went out?
