When my 96 S10's ignition switch went bad my cluster would act "crazy". Needles bounced back and forth while trying to start. It drained my battery and had to jump start. Also ended up replacing the ignition key tumbler twice in it too, but it was the switch down low on the column that made the cluster screwy.

On your dash, to the right of the headlight switch, is a dimmer wheel switch for your dash lights. Check to make sure that hasn't been rotated all the way down. The owner"s manual lists the following fuses in the fuse panel on the driver's end of the dash ( visible with driver's door open) in location # 11 - 7.5 amp - instrument cluster in location # 15 - 7.5 amp - instrument cluster in location # 33 - 15 amp - instrument cluster/DRL module/headlamps or bulbs no good.


How do you replace burned out dashboard lights on a 1995 Ford Crown Victoria?

You have to pull the instrument cluster out of the car. On the back of the cluster are numerous bulb sockets. Turn the sockets (sort of the same way you have to turn the sockets to remove say..taillight bulbs except the wiring to these bulbs goes through the same printed circuit that feeds the rest of the instrument cluster) The sockets and bulbs should come right out. Pull the bulbs out of the sockets and take them to an auto parts store. Get the auto parts store to verify which bulbs you need (don't want to go to all this trouble and fing out you put the wrong bulbs in). Reinstall the bulbs in the socket and reinstall the sockets on the back of the instrument cluster and then reinstall the cluster.
