catfish1987 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 There is a ground behind the ash tray in mine. If it comes loose it will kill the dash lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 By dashboard lights do you mean... Instrument cluster illumination lights? Dash related illumination lights (this includes heater controls) All lights, including warning lights in the instrument cluster? Did they work then suddenly stop, or has portions of the display gone out over time? Have to pulled the cluster and/or heater controls to check the bulbs? All but one of my cluster illumination lights has been out for a long time now, but recently my clocks back light died. So I pulled the cluster last night to change bulbs and see what, if anything else may be causing it. Only one bulb was bad, but several of the light sockets were loose (including the recently dead clock back light). Problem was they were loose because the housing of the cluster is falling apart. It's old and brittle and the "locks" that the sockets turn onto have fallen to pieces, some literally dust. I temporarily fixed it, but it's just a matter of time before they go out again. A new cluster housing is in my future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
