Default Help with Clock/Radio display

Recently, my radio/clock display is very dim, it only is bright at night or if I turn on the lights. I was out of town for 4 days and my wife/daughters drove it instead of me and they may have accidently changed the dim settings, but I cannot figure out how to make it work right again.
any hints?
Thanks

Well since you didnt post year or trim or what kind of radio we have to guess. I think its the Flux Capaciter going bad. Better not go up to 88 MPH.

Only thing I can think of it what you mentioned. The "dimmer" switch is on the left of the cab righ behind the steering wheel beside the headlight switch.

I think he prefers some good olde PBR....


In my truck , it is the dimmer swich, so there is most likely something like that in the newer trucks, most likely the same switch that makes your inside lights and bed light come on.
