Inside illuminating lights/back lamps help.

moneymo · October 22nd, 2010, 10:00 PM

So im driving my sexy 91 mustang gt home tonight and i quickly realize it getting dark outside. So i cut the lights on and keep driving, i get to a stop light only to be told that my back lights were not home.. That ruined my whole cruising excitement. Can anyone help??? To sum it up the inside gauge illuminating lights are not working and so are my backlights. Im lost and need help plz friends.

Sounds like the multi function switch.

moneymo · October 22nd, 2010, 10:19 PM

So replacing it would solve the problem you think?

HMUSN · October 22nd, 2010, 10:22 PM

Yea, I would assume so. Check the fuses and what not first though obviously.

moneymo · October 22nd, 2010, 10:47 PM

Yea i will tomorrow morning, then see the multi-functioning switch..

You have to pull apart the steering wheel to get to it. Just a heads up.

Yea i just realized that...smh

easy to take apart.. the switch itself is 300$ part tho. i tripped over a deal at a local yard to buy it without having to buy a whole column. try Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market.

So i come to find out i believe my wiring is ok, instead i must have a short somewhere. Im looking at it now cause the wiring works now and the lights, just the gauge cluster thats not coming on.

If you have an aftermarket radio check the wiring behind it also
