jeepman 87 Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Put in a new stricker button on driver door and new headlight switch but still no dash lights :wall:
nitroxsteve Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 When I brought my tuck home all the light bulbs were shot. Have you looked at those yet?
jeepman 87 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 Haven't looked at light bulbs but every time I put a fuse in the gauge slot and turn on the lights about 2 to 3 seconds the the fuse will pop, but also in that time frame I don't even see any lights come on ( could the circuit board be bad ) ?
nitroxsteve Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Sorry I'm not much help past the Bulbs. Also this should be in the tech section and you,ll probably get more help. I don't know how to get it moved.
Zenobian_84 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Could be a loose wire where the installed switch is? :dunno: Other than the bulbs, a loose connecting wire, or something wrong with the fuse box, I'm not sure what the matter could be.
jeepman 87 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 If any bulbs are not working or broke would that cause the fuse to blow
HOrnbrod Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Try turning your headlight knob fully ccw with your headlights on. That's the illumination control for the dash lights.
jeepman 87 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 Tried all of that, but as soon as I turn on lights fuse pops for gauge lights
HOrnbrod Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Tried all of that, but as soon as I turn on lights fuse pops for gauge lights How about if you pull the headlight switch one stop (parking light position) does the dash illumination fuse blow? Also which fuse is blowing, and what vehicle are we talking about?
jeepman 87 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 Haven't tried that, and it's a 89 eliminator 4.0 auto 2wd soon to be 4wd, it's the 7.5 amp fuse for gauge lights. If you look at fuse box it's the one at top right corner
HOrnbrod Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Try it. If the fuse blows when you turn on the parking lights then you have a dead short in the illumination circuit. Have you done any work on the radio lately?
jeepman 87 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 Put in a new radio and had to run a new ground
