Dash Lights Went Out

[parker2]

Every daslight in my xlt went out. Evn the air control and radio switches, does any body have a solution, possible but I wouldn't think every light burned out at the same time. HELP PLEASE!

My bet is the instrument light dimmer switch is bad.

you might get them to come back by rotating it back and forth if the switch is just dirty inside.

I have the same problem myself at the moment and there is a older post on here that you can find by googling your problem, It's most likely the headlight switch like the person above indicated. Just make sure you order the right one when you order it because I called NAPA and they almost ordered me a dimmer switch which is the one on the steering colum and that one is $159.00 at NAPA the one you need will be the one that is $15.00 atleast if you order at NAPA. Happy trails

And just a quick note if you pull it all the way out and slowly push it in and wiggle it a little you can usually get it to come back on but be careful because any nasty bumps will either kick your headlights off or the dash lights off

Just a heads up.. See if you have running lights in the back.

When you blow the fuse for the running lights in the back your dash lights go out too.. I kept blowing that fuse until I figured out the wiring harness at the back of the vehicle for the license plate light was bad. It kept shorting out which kept blowing the running light fuse.


Assuming it's not the fuse, then it is most likely the head light switch like others have said.
