  • Dash lights won't work

    The lights in my speedo cluster will not turn on. I've checked the fuse and its fine. Also all of the guages work and the warning lights come on when you first start it. I tried swapping in my old 110 cluster to see if it may just be the cluster and the same thing happened. Any ideas?

    not to be a sm@rt@ss, but is the "dial" accidently turned down so low that the dash lights are off?

      I've already checked that too but I really could picture that being something that I may look over lol.

      Also its not just the speedo cluster lights the lights for the vent controls are off also.

        yea, i would check the dimmer wheel. I just had that problem yesterday... and it was just a loose connection to the light switch.

          I agree. I'd get out a multimeter and test the headlight switch. You could also test them by hotwiring them from the harness connector at the headlight switch, just to verify the problem is the switch.

          I've got my money on the headlight switch.

              Thanks for the help, about 5 minutes after replying to brynnda's post a little light bulb popped on in my head and I thought of that too because I had just been the DD for a friend this weekend in his mustang which had a bad connection at the switch. I'm going to check it today and will definetly put my money on that being the issue.
