Hey, I've got a 2013 LC200 and last camping trip the dash light dimmer switch/roller thing wouldn't dim the lights at all and the GPS was shining bright as if it was noon. the problem is that the GPS is almost blinding it was so bright. What am I missing? is there something that overrides the "nighttime" mode?

Turn the dimmer dial for the dash lights down. In the full on position, it will stay in day mode all the time. Just off of full on it will go back to normal.
 
@eminaise seems to suggest they’ve tried the dimmer dial.

On a 2013 LandCruiser nav system hit the setup button, then “display”

Then see whether “day mode” is activated.

Sounds like the dimmer may be shorted out. I suspect the outcome of that would be a fully connected circuit (the same as max dimmer) so the rest of the truck is responding accordingly.
