I was once scratching my head wondering why my dash lights where not working, then ended up in jail! I learned the tail lights are on the same fuse, a very expensive fuse!

This may sound stupid and I don't mean to insult anyone but have you checked the headlight ****. When you pull it out the headlights come on but then if you twist it it adjusts the brightness of the dash lights and if turned all the way down will turn them off. Just wondering. Had a panic moment a few times until I realized that's all it was. Good luck. Hope it's something easy like that.

Ya that was the first thing I tried when I bought it. The guy I got it from told me that the bulb went out in the gear selector I had one in the glove box for it when I went to replace it nothing

Yeah my dash lights and shifter lights dont work. My high beams light works, my low gas light works. My gauges work but not my other lights... Are your shifter lights out also?

Maybe just a bunch of bad bulbs? I had 4 all go out within a day of each other. Again. Not saying it isn't something more complicated. I just like to start cheap and easy

Ask for 194 bulbs. That's what's in mine. They are also commonly referred to peanut bulbs or license plate bulbs. They are fairly small. A decent parts store associate should know what it is.

im having the same issue no tails or dash lights. so correct me if im wrong, the tails and dash are on the same circuit? ive replaced all fishy fuses under the dash to no avail if one of the dash light bulbs will that cause the entire setup not to work? i dont see how that would be, id assume they wouldnt be ran under one circuit like that.
