Dash lights work occasionaly, when lucky enough to turn on, they turn off about 30 secs later.

Ford f150 Lightning. All dash lights,head,tail accessory dimmer control everything else works like normal. About 2 out of 10 times my cluster back lights will actually come on like normal for about 30 secs, then just click off. very confused.

Thanks for response Roy, i was leaning more to the switch going bad myself. When i watch what is going on, when the backlights kick off i can can actually here a "click" noise from dash. Just trying to save a trip to the dealer,but might have to go that route.
