bump.... anyone had this problem???

 

usually the dash lights fuse is the same as the tail/parking lights fuse

 

Do a search on here. This problem has been discussed before.

1. Try the fused mentioned above.
2. Check under your dash for loose wiring or ground connections.
3. Check any after-market electronics that you may have hardwired into the wiring near the dash.
4. You may have to replace you whole cluster. Sorry, Dealer Service only at this time.

any more this morning?

 

um, check to make sure you didnt turn the dimmer **** all the way down accidentally? wow if none of the above worked- id double check with the dealer.

 

Rather than trying to hunt down which fuse is the right one to check, just check them all, it only takes a second for each fuse. Get a multi meter and put it on short test, which gives an audible tone if two points are electrically the same, such as two ends of a fuse. Open the fuse box and just run down the fuses, putting the multimeter leads on every fuse. Everyone should make the multimeter sound a tone. When you find one that doesn't, pull it out and you will probably be able to tell just by looking that it has blown. Get a replacement of the same amp rating (typically the same color). Unless you have major electrical problems, I'm willing to bet its just a fuse.

 

well i got to thinking about what was the last thing i did that couldve caused this and the only thing i can think is plug in our gooseneck but all the lights on the trailer worked properly and so did the lights on the truck but i didnt check to see if the dash lights were on and i didnt drive the truck at night for a couples after so never noticed them not working so i guess im going to have to go through and check all the fuses. i was just hoping that maybe some would have experienced this before and would know what fuse it was

thanks for all the help
