no dash lights

[black cloud mafia]

i have a early 99. and my dash lights and a/c light just went out one night. i checked the fuses and the ford dealer said the bulbs rarely burn out. has this happened to anyone else? if so what was it that caused it for you?
thanks

If it were me, I'd pull the cluster out and check the main plugs that go to it. Sounds like something came loose since they all went out at once. my second guess would be the dimmer switch.

mine have been out for a year now ive had like 4 or 5 shops look at it no one can figure it out all that lights up is the door switches all the fuses have been replaced as well as the bulbs all the connectors have been checked if you find out id like to know also

i also put in a new dimmer switch and headlight switch

crazy. yeah all the warning lights work for the door and what not. im going to pull the dash piece off and take a look

I just looked in the book and its showing a Lt.Blue W/Red as the feed for the instrument lights coming from the switch.You might want to check to see if you have power on this wire before tearing everything out.Hope this helps.

i was just out looking at stuff and do you guys think it might be the computer chip deal on the back of the insturment pod? after hearing was dana60axle was saying

[dana60axle]

i agree with him everything works on mine just no lights and yes ive checked i do have power just no lights

im going to run to the junk yard tomarrow and plug one of there clusters in if they have one handy and see what happens

i got a new cluster for a guy and still no dash lights. im going to replace the harness that runs from the light switch to the cluster next. and see if that works
