01 Ls430 Rear Ended...ekectrical Issues?

[DobieG]

Hi all...

Sadly my LS430 was rear ended while I sat at a stop light. The damage is minimal but I will need a new bumper. Yesterday, I noticed that my dash lights appeared to be on the brightest setting which I don't normally use. However, it is on the lowest setting. This morning, the entire dash blacked out several times on my drive to work. It was like a flash. They would go dark then reappear. After that it didn't happen again. Is this related to my rear end collision? Didn't have any issues prior to the accident.

Thanks for the help!

try shining a light on the light sensor on the dash , highly unlikely to be from the accident

Thanks for the response sk...

What am I looking for when I shine the light? Should I do it when its dark out?

Thanks again!

Shine it at the red sensor on the dash to see if the light brightness changes.

Try it in a garage or when dark.
