No dash lights

[T_F_E]

Hey everyone I need some help with my dash lights, I have power coming from the headlight switch and the dimmer works fine. The horn and courtesy light work fine, my generator, blinker and low coolant lights all work. I really could use some help, and have some trouble following circuits in the schematics.

Thanks everyone,
Mike

I have been chasing an electrical problem myself on my new 1009. The speedo and fuel lights were IN/OP so i pulled the instrument panel and lightly sanded the contacts and the bulb holders with 800 grit and used a tad of that dielectric grease. You might have a break in that printed circuit card, you will have to solder a jumper wire across it. Another thing is if you don't watch when you twist the bulb holder in the card slips around a little and then it doesn't contact the part it needs to cantact. I got all the dash lights back except the passengers side turn signal and i don't care too mess with it anymore.

Dash kight problems are as old as the trucks. For better contact bed the contacts a littel so that the pressure on the film circuit is better. Most the time that helps as long as the bulbs are ok.

Can anyone tell me the color and guage of the wire that goes into the back of the instrument cluster that powers the lights?
