ryjaytay38 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Does anyone have an idea on my dash lights, speedometer, tach etc,? I've checked the fuses and nothing is blown. What are the chances that the bulbs themselves blew? The only thing on my dash that works is the clock. Any advice is welcomed!! Thanks guys! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunchie Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 You lucky, lucky barstard, your clock works. Mine hasnt for years. And YES ABSOLUTELY, is the answer to your Q. Dude yer truck is 16 y/o. How many lights have seen last 16 years? Pull yer dash cluster out (plastic removal tools are an asset) and yer heater knob panel too and replace all of them. They're slightly larger than a TicTac. I think my cluster took 7 (maybe more), idiot lights incuded. My Check Engine was on for so many years that it burnt out-lol. Dedicate a full afternoon to do it- just the dirt behind everthing alone will blown yer mind. Dirt attracts moisture and moisture attracts electrical problems...just sayin. Good luck, V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 If they all worked one day, and then the next they're all out, I'd start with the dimmer switch. Bulbs burn out but they rarely have the coordination to all go together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 The right side (tech and temp) gauges on my truck wouldn't light up so I popped the cluster out and I barely even touched the bulb and it kit up, I guess I'd had come loose a bit, might be your case too, it's not difficult to get it out. If that's not it I'd check the dimmer switch like the dude above me said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
