I have a 65 Mustang coupe. My intrument lights were working and then all of a sudden stopped. I have changed the fuse with no luck. When I check the fuse box with the meter I don't show any power. When I check other places in the fuse box the rest works. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.</P>


Thanks </P>

did you try looking for a bad wire or gauge cluster or anything of that nature?

O.K.-3 things come to mind: 1) The headlight switch is bad-(probably not likely if the headlights work, but a possibility) 2)The constant voltage regulator behind the dash is bad 3)like the previous post-bad ground somewhere.</P>

I had a 71 Ranchero that the headlights worked but the dash and tail lights didn't. The light switch was the problem, try turning on the lights and wiggling the **** to see if you can make contact.</P>

Ok I have checked the voltage regulator on the back of the instrument panel and its checks out fine. I can't find where the bad ground might be. I have not changed the headlight switch, it does turn the headlights and tail lights on. </P>

Since the wires under you dah are old you can start replacing wires. Electrical is not my strong point so I use the ameteur method of replacing wires until whatever wasn't working works again. Not the best way to do it but it's cheap and easy.
