How do I make my Dash lights stay on?

Question

The dash board lights works 1 day and they are out the next day. I cant see my gas or how fast I go What do I check? This is driving me nuts.

Answer 1

Depending on the make and modle, a dimmrer type dial is next to the headlight switch. that( dial reastat) gets dirty and all you have to do is turn it full turnes both directions several times to clean the contacts. If that doesn't work check the fuse connection on the tail light fuse it also feeds the dash lights. if your dash lights are out you might check your tail lights.Good luck

Answer 2

Your problem can be caused by several things.The headlight switch could be bad,this feeds the power to the dash lights.to verify this try turning the headlights on and off several times and try to adjust dashlight brightness.If the dashlights work replace the switch.Another possibility is the connector on the headlight switch try to wiggle this connection if you can gain access to it. The other area to look at is the connection or wiring on the back of the instrument panel itself.
