Default Dash Light Problem.

Hello all,


I'm experiencing a problem with my Dash Lights. I've checked the fuse, and there isn't anything wrong with it. I've also fiddled around with the light switch, but that didn't help either :/ What I find odd is, when I pull the light switch to cut my lights on (which work fine) my Clock gets really dim, but none of the dash lights work (dash, A/C, Ash Tray Lights). The only thing I've done today was put a new battery in, I don't believe I've done anything to short it out. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I doubt the lights in my dash, AC, and Ashtray went out at the same time :P

It's probably more likely that it's your headlight switch. I just changed mine about 3 months ago and haven't had a problem since. If your dash lights aren't working, your brake and taillights aren't working either, that's how I figured out it was my headlight switch. GL

P.S It's not likely that all the bulbs went out together, replace the headlight switch, I think it was like 20 bucks or something, easy fix!! You could also try jiggling the headlight **** like I did for awhile, the dash lights will usually come on, if they do, you know thats the problem.
