Any help please?
I have a 1969 chevy truck. My dashboard isnt lighting up anymore. I thought it was the headlight switch, so i got a new one and it didnt fix the problem. Any ideas??

Usually the guages don't work properly either.In either case there is usually a ground problem.I don't remember which wire it is from the instrument cluster plug but someone should chime in to let yu know.

Do your tail lights work. Check your fuses. Some had seperate fuse for dashlights and some were on with taillights.

Re: Any help please?
I am not trying to be an ass hear, but have you tried turning the dome light on? When you turn the dome light off, you can keep turning and dim the dash lights. I know this sounds stupid, but I learned from experience. I freaked out one day cause I had no dash lights, I finally figured it out when I went to turn my dome light on.
Sometimes its something so simple that we over look it. Hope you get it figured out.

Re: Any help please?
ditto, same comment on the dome light. Beyond that, I would have to assume a fuse. After that, I'd be hunting and pecking for a bad ground. Hope it's one of the first two.
