What would cause the instrument panel on a 1997 ford pickup 150 not to work?
Blown fuse? Damaged buss board?
Answer 1 - Instrument Lights Operate IntermittentlyWithout doing a "hands on troubleshooting" of your vehicle, no one here can be certain of the specific location and cause of your problem. However, based on your question, I suspect that the cause is a loose connection in the circuit providing power to the instrument lights, or on the instrument panel circuit board itself.It is possible also, that the instrument panel dimmer switch is wearing out.Answer 2 -The dash dimmer switch or the headlight switch is the most likely problem.
Most likely cause would be a blown fuse.

If the instrument panel lights and tail lights on a 1994 Acura Integra have stopped working and the fuse is not the issue, it could be due to a faulty ground connection or a short circuit in the wiring. Corroded connectors or damaged wiring harnesses can also disrupt the electrical flow. Additionally, issues with the headlight switch or the dimmer switch that controls the instrument panel lights might be contributing factors. A thorough inspection of these components is recommended to identify the root cause.
