Possible bad headlight switch. The switch is actually 2 switches in one. One side turns on the headlights and the other contacts turn on the tail lights which also feed the instrument panel through usually a 5 amp fuse.
Check fuses-- common circuit
Check the fuses and the bulbs.
Check the fuses. Parking lights/tailights/dash lights should be a common circuit Check the fuses. Parking lights/tailights/dash lights should be a common circuit I had the same problum last year and had to replace the wires.
check the fuses
The fuses in the 1989 Mercedes 300 control things like the lighting system, the door locks, the wipers, and the instrument gauges. The fuses also control the trunk latch and the turn lights and brake lights.
Check the headlight switch and make sure you are getting current out of the switch when you turn on the lights.
I have no dash lights or gage lights that come on in my 1982 corvette, what could be the problem ? i checked all fuses.
Go to AutoZone and look up your fuses in a book for the make and model.
Check the panel lights resistor switch and be sure that they are not turned off.
Sounds like, though unlikely, you have 2 blown fuses. I don't know a lot about Dodges but I know on Chevy and Ford the instrument lights and brake lights are on 2 separate circuts but I would check the fuses first. If you pull the fuse and you are not sure if it's blown, just replace it as sometimes it is hard to see if the fuse has actually blown or not.
There are no fuses for the dash lights. Are your dash lights not working? If not, then you will need the instrument cluster refurbished. I can do this for you, contact me at ANCTechnologies at hotmail
Panel lights and parking/tail lights should be on 1 circuit Brake lights should be on a separate circuit If you are sure fuses are good- Check bulbs Check headlight switch Check stoplight switch
