Help, dash lights out

[Grkstang]

Here we go. My dash lights went out yesterday night while I was driving back from long island. MY odometer is ok. Played with the light switch it work fine dims fine and everything else works (headlights, taillights, dome light). Also the A/C lights work fine as well as my tripod Autometer gauges work fine.

AS i said Light switch work fine, and i don't think that the bulbs can go all together. I'm going to check the three fuses the may play a role tomorrow.


Any ideas will be much appreciated.

Yes, check the fuses. Look at the wiring relay areas. Craked wire?? possibly. Intermitents always a pain.

How much did you play with the dimmer? I think my dad had a similar issue with his 95. It sometimes worked and sometimes did not.

Dimmer and light switch work fine... fuses are good ..have to take out the dashboard and check the wires behind it since.

Update... Right now the dash board light go on and off. they may stay for 30 minutes on and the turn off.

Did you check the wires? Seems like a loose connection somewhere.

That's what im guessing too..since it's not the stock dash board (its a Simco). Some wire must have gotten loose.

Who installed it?

i Installed it but for the passed 2 years there was no problem...i think i know which cable it is... i'll have to take it out and check the cables
