No Dash Lights
Tuesday, April 26, 2005 2:59 PM
This just happened recentlly...head lights work, driving lights work, guages work, and so does everything else...everything BUT the dash lights! All the fuses are okay, both on the driver's side of the dash and by the air intake. Need ideas on how to fix this. Thanks.

have you had your dash apart? if so you prolly forgot to hook up the cig lighter and dimmer switch... which in turn will make the dash light not work... if you havent had the dash apart check that plug anyway get a test light and see if that plug has any hotness to it

This is typically caused by a short circuit somplace.

Common problem one our cars...

One possible solution that EVEN GM technicians use...

Whack the top of the dash a few times. Hard.

Oh...

If youve never had your dash apart its not a short circuit, or you would have seen this problem before.

he probably just has a short in his wire ... or the relay switch sucks. Check both.

No I didn't take apart my dash because I haven't had a reason too. Anywho...I'll check those things out. Thanks.

First make sure that the dash dimmer switch is rolled all the way over to the right.
