The dimmer switch is operated by the same arm as the turn signals. They are all integrated into a single unit.

There are several possibilities; headlight switch, headlight breaker or fuse, connectors, dimmer switch.
AnswerIf the lights work on the flash to pass but do not work otherwise either the switch is bad or the dimmer switch is bad. I just am working on a 1995 Ranger and found the dimmer switch to be bad. I checked the headlight switch and that was good so I found the dimmer switch to be the problem. I jumped the wires after unplugging the dimmer switch and lights come on. Replace the headlight dimmer switch and good to go! Hope this helps.
It's on the floor to the left of the brake pedal. You turn it on and off with your foot.
are you thinking about the dimmer switch or the actual illumination light? on the left side of the steering wheel you will find the dimmer switch, and the dash becomes illuminated from the first click of your headlight switch.
Beside your headlight switch in the dash is your gauge panel dimmer switch ( Rotate the switch all the way up to turn on the interior lights )
The headlamp dimmer switch is mixed in with turn signal lever, push the lever forward for 'brights' The instrument panel dimmer switch is just right and down from the steering wheel, left of the radio it looks like the wheel on your mouse but bigger In 1999+ models, the instrument panel dimmer is to the left of the steering wheel - still looks like the wheel on your mouse.
Check fuses? Could be a bad headlight switch/ Could be an open in dimmer rheostat?
I believe you rotate your guage panel dimmer switch ( just to the right of your headlight switch ) down past the detent
I believe the light for the cargo area is turned on with the interior courtesy lights by rotating your gauge lighting dimmer wheel switch all the way UP ( The switch is located just to the right of the headlight switch )
have you check the tail light fuse to see if it is blown. other possiblly is the headlight switch.
Bulb, wire, fuse, dimmer switch.
