When the interior dimmer switch is in any on or dimmed position the key fob will not lock or unlock the doors, the exterior keypad entry won't work and the dome light remains on.
If the interior dash lights dimmer is rolled to off all the above problems go away, but then the dash lighting is off; real pain driving at night without illumination of dash speedometer, tachometer, gauges, climate control or stereo. Bought new in 2005, had the problem for years, Ford has no knowledge of this problem. Have read before it could be some kind of circuit board problem behind the speedometer and it's not the dimmer switch.
Please help if you know the real fix.
