Turn off your capital letters please,  you have a knob that turns somewhere to adjust the brightness.  Possible the rheostat is bad

The rheostat in mine is beside the retarder lever. Mine doesn't work. I have power from the rheostat and I gather there is an
inverter somewhere. I don't know if I can get mine going as a previous owner drilled and screwed though the panel so it may
be shorted out. I will check it out with and ohm meter.
