My daughters 2006 diesel fortwo has an issue that I I don't know where to start looking.
The cluster/dash lights only come one once the brake pedal has been pressed.
Funny thing, radio lights are bright but dim when dash lights come on once brake pedal is pressed.
I saw a post somewhere that this issue is common on Canadian models...

Help!!!!!

Welcome to SCoA! :)

Since this is a 450 I'm guessing the folks on Club Smart Car will be able to help you out.
