While driving, all lights dim randomly for 1-3 seconds. Also, the dome light switch fails to turn the dome light on when set to "on" and sometimes does not turn the light on when set to "door" with the door open. The driver and passenger power rearview mirrors no longer move these defects have occurred since the car was new, to the best of my knowledge. *****dims 11 IVOQ entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****769329.
