The problem probable is a short to ground on one of ur circuits. when u drive at night u have ur headlights on which forces the alternator to produce more electricity. making it seem normal. or a defective alternator
that is a dealer only part the vehicle is picking up a fault in the unit and shutting it off this can be caused by the installation of a aftermarket radio most vehicles have an illumination wire that goes to the radio to dim the radios display along with the backlighting for the gauges, the dimmer is somewhere around the headlight control. if this wire is grounding out on the radio or anywhere else that could be the result.
On most vehicles you have a dimmer switch ( not talking about headlights) which you can adjust how bright or how dim the dashboard lights are because some people want them bright and others prefer dim either check your owners manual or check all around for it from drivers seat ( within drivers reach) when you find it if you can't adjust it then you want to consider replacing dash lights or switch.
This is an old post so I don;t even know if you still have the car, but here is what I know.
1) Your radio issue is probably a relay. It is a relay bank located above your glove box. The entire glove box assembly will have to come out. This relay is a little different in appearnace thatn the others as it is skinnier and taller. It is called the Brand Name speakers/radio relay.
2) Your dash readouts are due to a burned out bulb. These are not LED. They are regular 124 bulbs. They've burned out. Banging on the dash probably allowed the filament of in the bulb to touch and temporarily worked.
3) I have a similar problem with the headlights. My headlights turn on manually, but they don't turn on like they are supposed to via automatic photo sensor. When turned on manually, the doors open and the headlights are on. When I manually turn off the headlights, the doors don't close. I've checked everything and I was told it may have something to do with the Body Control Module. I am not completely sure as this research is ongoing.
you have a roller switch, probably located on the bottom part of the dash by it's self by the drivers door, is turns up and down, turn it up and the lights will return to normal.
