Instrument Lights

EHSRacer01 · August 1st, 2007, 02:33 PM

i recently purchased a 1998 Mustang 3.8 and when i turn the lights on, the instrument panel lights dont come on. we think it may be a fuse, but i want another opinion. any ideas?

turn your head lamp knob counter clock wise does this change the lap issue?? could be the dimmer is set all the way to off. or it could very well be a fuse or a defective switch. or bad wiring those are basically ur only options.

its not a dimmer issue. does anyone have a fuse panel diagram? i dont have the manual.

Juggalo_X · August 1st, 2007, 02:46 PM

i highly doubt its a fuse cuz your cluster ilumination, head lamp switch and exterior lights all run off the same fuse.

what could it be then?

Murderjetz · August 1st, 2007, 02:58 PM

could it be a burned out light bulb?

I'm thinking bad wiring makes sense though.
